1999 Februbary 16
1999 August 11 -- "THE MILLENNIUM ECLIPSE of 1999"
is the final total solar eclipse of the 20th century.
(Note: there is no total solar eclipse in the year 2000,
sparing us from the debate over which is the true
millennium eclipse.) The shadow crosses the English Channel,
darkening Plymouth, England, and Cherbourg, France,
but passing south of Stonehenge by some 60 miles. The list
of cities in the path -- Rouen, Reims, Luxembourg, Stuttgart,
Munich, Salzburg -- reads like a travelogue of Western Europe.
(Paris and Vienna are each just outside the path of totality.)
From there the umbra crosses Hungary and Romania
(including Bucharest) and continues across Turkey and the
Middle East, darkening both Karachi, Pakistan, and Ahmadabad,
India, late on this Wednesday afternoon.
2000 January 21 -- A total lunar eclipse will be visible from
all of North and South America and Europe, lasting for 1 hour
and 18 minutes.
2000 July 16 -- Another total lunar eclipse six months later
will give early risers on the west coast of North America a
chance to see the eclipsed full Moon set in the west at sunrise.
2000 December 25 -- A partial solar eclipse , visible during
mid-day from the entire 48 states of the U.S., graces the final
Christmas Day of the Second Millennium.
2001 June 21 and 2002 December 4 -- A forty-mile stretch of the
Atlantic coast of Africa, just north of Lobito, Angola,
experiences totality twice in 18 months. The June 21st eclipse
occurs just 4.5 hours after the solstice (winter in the Southern
Hemisphere). The December 4th eclipse track passes 50 miles south
of Victoria Falls in Africa, ending at sunset on the southern
coast of Australia on the shoreline of the Great Australian Bight,
near the Yalata Aboriginal Reserve.
2001 December 14
2002 December 4
2002 June 10
2003 May 31 and 2003 November 23 -- Two opposite polar eclipses in
the same year -- a double "polar solar" -- and each in the
corresponding warmer half of the year. The May 31st event is an
annular solar eclipse that starts at the northern tip of Scotland
and actually moves westward across Iceland and southern Greenland.
The November 23rd eclipse is total, lasting up to 1 minute 57
seconds as it sweeps across Antarctica near the Amery Ice Shelf.
Partial phases of each eclipse are visible from the respective
Poles themselves.
2005 April 8 -- The total phase of this annular-total eclipse, with
a maximum duration of 42 seconds, traverses a 15-mile wide path
entirely over a remote region of the southern Pacific Ocean. Quite
a challenge for the dedicated eclipse chaser!
2005 October 3
2006 March 29 -- Although this 110-mile wide path of totality
crosses Africa and much of Asia, there are no major population
centers in its path. However, you can try to catch a brief
glimpse of totality exactly at sunrise near Natal, on the
northeastern coast of Brazil.
2008 August 1 -- A "midnight Sun" total eclipse visible from
the northern tip of Greenland, and parts of northern Russia.
The path of totality crosses the Great Wall of China near sunset.
2009 July 22 -- The next eclipse in the July 11, 1991, saros
series begins in the Arabian Sea just off the coast of India
between Bombay and Ahmadabad. The path traverses central India
(including Indore, Benares, and Patna) and the Himalayas
through eastern Nepal and Bhutan, passing 75 miles south of
Mt. Everest. The shadow engulfs the Chinese cities of Chongqing,
Wuhan, and Shanghai before passing out into the East China Sea
and halfway across the Pacific.
2010 July 11 -- After crossing Easter Island in the South Pacific,
this total solar eclipse path barely touches land in southern Chile
and Argentina at sunset.
2012 November 13 -- The path of totality begins near Darwin in
north central Australia and moves across the Great Barrier Reef
near Cairns.
2017 August 21 -- Finally, another total eclipse in the United
States. This one sweeps a 70-mile wide path from Salem, Oregon,
to Charleston, South Carolina, crossing coast-to-coast from
mid-morning to early afternoon on this summer Monday. Points in
the path include Mt. Jefferson in the Cascades and Grand Teton
peak in the Rockies, as well as Casper, Wyoming, and Lincoln,
Nebraska. In Missouri, Kansas City lies near the southern edge
of the path, St. Louis near the northern edge. The eclipse
reaches its maximum in western Kentucky, with the Sun at an
altitude of 64 degrees and a duration of totality of 2 minutes
40 seconds. In Tennessee, Nashville is near the southern edge
of the path, Knoxville near the northern edge. The shadow then
passes over Greenville, Columbia, and Charleston, South Carolina,
before racing out across the Atlantic.
2024 April 8 -- Another North American total eclipse only seven
years later! This 120-mile wide path crosses Mazatlan, Dallas,
Cleveland, Buffalo, and Montreal, with over four minutes of totality.
2026 August 12 -- An unusual eclipse track that actually moves
westward near the North Pole before swinging southeast over
Greenland, Iceland, and Spain. Reykjavik, Madrid, and Barcelona
are near the edge of the path, and Palma de Mallorca is near the
centerline just before sunset.
2027 August 2 -- The second eclipse in the same saros following
July 11, 1991, passes over the Rock of Gibraltar, Thebes in Egypt
(near where it reaches maximum duration of 6 minutes 22 seconds),
and Mecca in Saudi Arabia.
2028 July 22 -- This, another long eclipse, passes from one end
of Australia to the other (including Sydney) on this afternoon.
Near sunset, the path crosses Dunedin on South Island, New Zealand.
2035 September 2 -- A grand oriental eclipse, the path crosses
Beijing and just grazes Tokyo on its southern edge.
