Hi Josie!

This total eclipse ended at 7:20 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time this morning.  In Ohio and the rest of the United States you missed nothing.  The total eclipse was not visible from here, and even the few places that could see a partial eclipse saw just a tiny nip out of the edge of the solar sisc.

Your best shot will be the solar eclipse of April 8, 2024.

Almost all of northern Ohio sees a total eclipse of the sun that afternoon.   The southern line of totality that April afternoon sixteen years from now passes just north of Cincinnati, through the northern suburbs of Columbus, and a few miles north of Youngstown.  I hope you're in that area (and that you don't mind waiting sixteen years!).

There are a few partial eclipses of the sun you could see before 2024, but they will hardly be memorable if seen from Ohio:

- May 20, 2012 - You will see a nip just starting to be taken out of the sun as it is setting that evening.

- November 3, 2013 - The reverse happens: the sun rises with a nip out of it just as an eclipse is ending over Ohio

- October 23, 2014 - Another sundown eclipse, with 40% of the sun covered as it sets that evening.

- August 21, 2017 - Ohio sees an 85% partial eclipse that afternoon. It's total over Kentucky and Tennessee if you can drive down to see it.

- June 10, 2021 - Another 85% partial eclipse, this time at sunrise, but it's already coming to an end as the sun is rising over Ohio.

- October 14, 2023 - A 45% partial eclipse, at its best around 1 p.m. To see the full eclipse, you'd have to go to Texas.

August 1 there will be a Total Solar Eclipse that people in Canada, Greenland, Siberia, Mongolia, and China will be able to see.
