Great. I didn't get to see the one this year because of where I live, and the next one I'll be able to see is when I turn 33

Shouldn't the one in '24 be 'the great American eclipse'? It goes from atlantic to pacific AND includes Canada and Mexico too

Good looking out, OP. It rained all damned day here. I guess going to Montreal in 2024 should be achievable with 7 year's planning.

why are some thicker than others, and why do some just end abruptly?

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

The ones that end abruptly are because of sunrise/sets. not sure what the thickness means though.

Why are some lines thicker?

8 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Because the moon isn't always equally far away from the Earth. When its closer, the umbra (part where you see totality) is larger.

Will it be 100% coverage there?

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

It's directly in the center of the totality path. Over 3 minutes of totality on 2024

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

i believe 2045 is annular so its not gonna the total eclipse we had today. The moon won't be as big in the sky and won't fully block the sun

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

The image says "total" solar eclipses

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Total and annular aren't mutually exclusive, total means that the entirety of the moon is in front of the sun

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Annular has to do with the distances involved, where tree moon is closer/sun is further did the moon doesn't fully cover the sun

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

A total annular eclipse would just be the moon in front with a halo of sun around it
