When will the next total solar eclipse be? The next total solar eclipse will not occur until 2026 in Greenland, Iceland and Spain

A total solar eclipse crossed North America on Monday, April 8. It entered the Pacific coast of Mexico and crossed the United States from Texas to Maine before exiting eastern Canada into the Atlantic.

The astronomical experience has many Americans wondering when they will be able to capture the next solar eclipse.

After Monday, the next total solar eclipse won’t occur until 2026. But it will skim the top of the world, plunging into Greenland, Iceland and Spain.

The next one, in 2027, will cross Spain and North Africa and will last an incredible 6 and a half minutes in its entirety.

North America will not experience totality again until 2033, with Alaska being the only option. The next one won’t be until 2044, when totality will be limited to western Canada, Montana and North Dakota.

There won’t be another U.S. eclipse, stretching from coast to coast, until 2045. That one will stretch from Northern California to Cape Canaveral, Florida.
