I have seen one total eclipse--the 1999 one visible in Europe. It was very cloudy but fortunately the clouds broke just before the total phase where I was.

The next one in the US will be on Monday, April 8, 2024. The path of totality will go from Texas through Indiana up to northern New England and into Canada. There is a block of territory including Carbondale, IL, and Paducah, KY, which is in the path of totality for the Aug. 21, 2017, eclipse as well as the Apr. 8, 2024, eclipse.

The next two eclipses after this one will be visible in Chile and Argentina: July 2, 2019, and Dec. 14, 2020. There will be a total eclipse visible in Spain on Aug. 12, 2026.
