The next total solar eclipse to cross North America is predicted to occur on Aug. 23, 2044, NASA said. However, the path of totality from this eclipse will only touch three states, according to The Planetary Society, a nonprofit organization dedicated to public interest in space.
This next eclipse will mainly be observed in Canada, Arav said.
Path of totality for the 2044 total solar eclipse
The 2044 eclipse will start in Greenland on Aug. 23, 2044, and will continue its path through Canada.The 2044 total solar eclipse will be short, mostly appearing in Canada. It will be visible from three states in the U.S.: Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota.
The path of totality will cross Williston and Dickinson, North Dakota, and Great Falls, Montana.
Path of totality for the 2045 total solar eclipse
The next solar eclipse that crosses a significant portion of the continental U.S. will be in 2045, said Arav. That year, a solar eclipse will darken skies in parts of the U.S., Haiti, Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Guyana, French Guiana, Suriname and Brazil.In North America, the 2045 total eclipse will be visible in many states as it moves from coast to coast. The eclipse will start in California and move east to end in Florida, similar to 2017, Arav said.
There will be numerous U.S. cities where eclipse watchers can view the total eclipse, including Reno, Nevada; Colorado Springs, Colorado; and Orlando, Florida.
Future solar eclipses in North America after 2045
Scientists have predicted eight total solar eclipses will appear in North America in the 21st century."Natural phenomena are like a Swiss clock," Arav said. "We know exactly when and where they will appear."
After the 2044 and 2045 total solar eclipses, the next total eclipses in North America will occur in 2078 and 2099.
May 11, 2078
This total solar eclipse on May 11, 2078, will pass over the southern United States.
Cities include:
Atlanta, Georgia
New Orleans, Louisiana
Charlotte, North Carolina
Virginia Beach, Virginia
Sept. 14, 2099
This total solar eclipse on Sept. 14, 2099, will cross a wide swath of the United States.
Cities include:
Minneapolis, Minnesota
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Chicago, Illinois
Columbus, Ohio
Fargo, North Dakota

I bought some back then as well. Have no idea where they are now. I just bought a couple of #12 welding lenses for the festivities yesterday.

All of these chemtrail posts are verifying what happened here yesterday morning.Well, due to horrid traffic, we only made it to 99% before we found a place to go & find a spot to grill out.
Had a good time, but after watching 2017 in totality, THAT is the only way to go. We did have clear skies, other than EXCESSIVE chemtrails.
I texted two friends about it too.
I’ve never totally read up on chemtrails nor totally bought into the idea….but I’m here to tell you the sky went from bright clear and beautiful to cross crossed within an hour and I don’t even recall seeing or hearing the planes.
At the last count, I tallied up 13 different trails.
Even went out every ten minutes or so to keep looking just because the change was so shocking to me….all sizes of trails….fat ones and smaller ones JUST like what I’ve seen posted on various platforms.
The sky was hazy for a good two hours after that. Then it partially cleared up again.
At least the eclipse was perfect

Drove maybe 40 minutes to experience totality. Definitely worth it for the experience. It was interesting to feel it get colder as totality approached, and then warm up again after. Also, I never read anything about the darkness (other than "it gets dark". I figured it to be just like night, but it wasn’t. You could see what looked like a dark storm coming from one direction, but it was the shadow. The shadow moving (very fast) across the ground…and then you were in it. Then it was light sky at opposite horizons, dark at the center.

I want to thank everyone who replied to this thread. You know, I wasn’t planning on this being a “what did you do for the eclipse on 2024” thread, but I’m happy that it evolved into that. It was nice to read some lighthearted fun stories for a change. The constant drumbeat of doom and treason weighs heavily on one’s psyche.

Goodness before greatness.
Totality or anything near that would have been worth viewing briefly in a safe manner.
In So-Cal we were almost 50% coverage. The felt drop in temperature was about the only difference noted. The 1/2 shining sun was just too much to even glance at with perfectly clear sky’s.
Even the ambient light on the ground was still So-Cal bright. Did not notice that difference.

We should have had an eclipse round table real time bar. A one and done celebration.
Next opportunity is 2040 I hear.
I dunno… Does prune juice mix well with whiskey?

Went out on deck and soaked some rays prior. Didn’t have my eclipse glasses from last time (I saved them for my granddaughter, but punched the lenses out bc I didn’t trust them). Anyway, the coolest thing about an eclipse to me is watching all the wildlife. We were at about 87% totality with in/out clouds so I wasn’t really excited about the sun part. However, it was cool: right before it started, my cellphone died - no calls in/out. Everything else worked so figured network bogged somewhere. But as time passed, you could feel it getting cooler and the bumblebees and wasps were acting weird in flight. Nothing I can put my finger on, just kind of like they were witlessly wandering or something. Wolf spider came out and started to hunt and then it got REALLY quiet (and all I was thinking was “too soon”. Almost made it to totality but had to come in because a thunderstorm was headed for us and I knew that it had bombed people before us with super heavy lightning so I bugged back in. Storm didn’t make it before totality so I just stood and watched it get “dark”. I was pretty amazed at how dark it did finally get. I made sure I was on the side of the house that the sun was NOT on. Because it’s darn hard to follow directions when something like that happens. I know how I can be. Ha!
Sounds like everyone had a great time. I had an “ok” time. It would have been better if the gods hadn’t been throwing thunderbolts and hail around. Sheesh. Can’t they knock it off for ONE day?

As I said upthread, it was lightly overcast in my area. About 20 minutes before totality and when the moon’s disc was about 50-60% over the sun, the light got what I can only describe as “brassy.” It got kind-of yellow/gold, and stayed that way until it got dark. Was a very odd color.

Mexican Media Outlet Mistakenly Airs Video of Man's Testicles During Eclipse Coverage (VIDEO)
In a broadcast blunder that has since gone viral, Mexican news outlet RCG Media aired what they believed to be live footage of the 2024 Solar Eclipse but instead showcased a viewer’s prank involving an image of
testicles.
During the highly anticipated coverage of the celestial event, viewers from around Coahuila were left in shock as the screen displayed not the moon passing in front of the sun but rather a close-up video of a man’s balls. The graphic image was submitted by a viewer who claimed it to be eclipse footage.
The unsuspecting anchors, caught in a moment of disbelief, were listing the areas of visibility for the eclipse. “Durango, Gómez Palacio, Lerdo, Nasas also in the municipality of Durango, Torreón, Monclova, Muzquiz, where your family is, Piedras Negras and Acuña, in the state of Coahuila…” one anchor said.
As the names were announced, the inappropriate video appeared on the screen. Realizing the mishap, the production team acted immediately to remove the inappropriate content from the broadcast.
The situation was addressed on air. The host explained, “That last video we put up was from a video amateur… production is at full speed integrating everything… and we thank you for continuing to send us.”
You can watch the uncensored video here.

North Central PA - We were at 95% totality but it had been so cloudy all day that I didn't expect much. But I went out on the front porch about 3:00 anyway, totality was to be from 3:21-3:24.
As we got close to totality I realized that things were not even dimming! Then realized that the clouds were beginning to break up. The Sun behind a cloud had backlit the billowing clouds behind it from the South. It was so bright that the light was reflected on the billowing clouds to the North. The eclipse itself only peaked out maybe a couple of minutes after totality and I saw the tiniest sliver of the Sun through the haze for about 10 seconds. It was beautiful.
But I had the notion that the Sun was giving the middle finger to the Moon. "You think that you're going to darken me? I'll show you!" Kind of a funny moment.

I was very glad I traveled to see this one. I was about an hour or so north of Carbondale, Illinois, at my daughter's house. The grandkids had the day off of school and it was a beautiful day. It was so cool to see the light gradually disappear. Kind of a very surreal environment at that point. It gave me a taste of what a nuclear winter type if thing might look and feel like. Their house is out in the middle of farm fields, so you could see very bright horizons on either side. Like a sunrise and sunset at the same time. While the actual eclipse with the corona was neat, it was far more gratifying watching the reactions of my grandkids to the whole situation...and the look of horror when I announced it was dark and time for bed! Probably my last and their first.

Anyone see anything else interesting or odd OTHER than the eclipse itself?

Because there were high clouds, as the eclips first began, I saw a rainbow, but it didn’t have the shape of a “normal” one. I can’t explain it any better than that I’m afraid.

That was the planet Jupiter. But I don't think that the comet was to that prevalent.
LMAO ! You described my day yesterday almost exactly, minus the whiskey!
We drove 3 1/2 hours to Jackman, Maine to the Attean Pond Overlook where we got the whole 3 1/2 minutes of totality. The eclipse was interesting of course, but the entire sky looked like it was from another planet. In the pic I've attached you can see Venus. We also saw a coronal ejection. We did have a tough trip headed back on Route 201 (the only road in and out) as 10,000 people leaving at once turned it into a parking lot. Totally worth it though. Another great part was there were no politics, just large groups of people gazing into a perfect blue sky that changed magnificently, then back to perfect blue.

I'm a bit envious of those who got to see ALL of totality, but I am grateful that we got to see ANY, maybe about a minute or so. As I said, we were socked in with clouds and DH was literally screaming and ranting in frustration (because we got foiled in 2017 or whenever the last one was, and missed totality, even though we were trying to chase it in a car, because of thunderstorms in the area). The Bailey beads were a spectacular icing on the cake, and we were both so pleased to see that.
As with others, unless we travel outside the US (something DH swore he would do if we missed totality on this one), this will almost certainly be our last solar eclipse.

Neither here nor there.
And this is why I watch lawn mowing and landscaping videos! Some of those tree removal videos will keep you in suspense!

No, it pairs well with rum though... with whiskey you'd want something less strong like bilberry juice.

We watched from the pasture next door, full 3.5 minutes of totality. I was actually sad when the sun came back, as I would have liked to soak in the experience a little longer.
It was AMAZING. Very dark with a ring of light 360 degrees around the horizon, plus the black disc of the moon with the white ring around it.
One hilarious thing that happened was just before totality some guy in a motorized paraglider came up from behind the treeline and over the field we were in, yelling "YEEEE HAWWWWW" LOL.
It was very very quiet during the totality other that the faint "brrrapppp" of the paraglider motor. And when the sun came back you could hear cheering from the development nearly a mile away.
