The solar eclipse has come and gone throughout most of the United States and our path of totality here in western New York, leaving many to wonder when they can anticipate the next such astronomical event.
While Rochester was in the path of totality for the 2024 total solar eclipse, residents throughout the state were left eager to see it again.
While another total solar eclipse is coming later this century, it will only be a partial eclipse in New York. What’s the other catch? It won’t be for another 20 years.
When is the next total eclipse in U.S. after 2024?
Mark your calendars for March 30, 2033! Though you might want set aside time to travel.
According to NASA, the next total solar eclipse will occur in Russia and the U.S., with Alaska the only state in the path of totality. The maximum duration of totality for this eclipse will be 2 minutes and 37 seconds.
If that does not end up fitting into your schedule (or you want something a bit closer), you’re in luck! Eleven years later, there will be one on Aug. 23, 2044. However, the only states in the path of totality will be Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota.
Will Rochester New York be in path of totality for the next total solar eclipse?
Although this time, Rochester is squarely in the path of the eclipse, the next event two decades from now will cut a different trajectory across the continental United States from the Pacific Northwest down to Florida on Aug. 12, 2045, according to NationalEclipse.com.
