When is the next eclipse in the United States?

Question

What time and where?

Answer 1

Hi Princess!

The next solar eclipse widely seen in the United States will be on the late afternoon of May 20, 2012.  That day, people along a line from California to north Texas will see an annular eclipse, with all the rest of the western US getting a partial eclipse.

Actually, there's a still earlier one.  This July 21st, 2009, the state of Hawaii sees a partial solar eclipse in the late afternoon.  Barely 10% of the sun's disc is covered, however.

Likewise northern Alaska sees a partial eclipse of the sun around 1 p.m. on June 1, 2011, but like the Hawaiian partial eclipse, only about 10% of the sun is actually eclipsed.

The next TOTAL eclipse of the sun widely seen in the US will come on August 21, 2017, with totality along a line stretching from Oregon to South Carolina.

The next lunar eclipse anywhere in the US will be a partial eclipse of the moon that people in the Anchorage area and in the Aleutians of Alaska will see on New Years Eve morning, December 31, 2009.  In Anchorage, where the sun doesn't come up until 10:15 in the morning in late December, the partial eclipse starts about 9:52 a.m.  People will be able to watch the earth's shadow advance across the face of the moon, as the lunar disc drifts along the far northwestern horizon.  Shortly after 10 a.m. the moon will start to set, and as it does the ecliped region will be the first to set.

A partial eclipse of the moon will be widely seen in the central and western states as far east as Florida in the wee hours of the morning June 26, 2010

The next TOTAL eclipse of the moon that will be widely seen in the US is on the night of December 20-21, 2012.
