Get ready, eclipse enthusiasts! A thrilling decade awaits as Earth is set to experience seven total solar eclipses from 2026 to 2034. Whether you're a seasoned eclipse chaser or just a curious observer, here's everything you need to know about the upcoming cosmic showdowns.

1. Total Solar Eclipse of 2026 (August 12)

Mark your calendars! This will be Europe's first total solar eclipse in 27 years, and it coincides with the peak of the Perseid meteor shower — a skywatchers' dream! The path of totality sweeps over Greenland, western Iceland, and northern Spain. For the best view, consider joining a cruise near Reykjavik, Iceland, where you'll witness up to 6 minutes and 23 seconds of totality. Expect breathtaking moments, especially from the Spanish island of Mallorca, where a stunning "sunset totality" could paint the sky in golden hues.

2. Total Solar Eclipse of 2027 (August 2)

Get ready for an overwhelming spectacle as the eclipse path crosses Luxor, Egypt, renowned for its ancient monuments. Totality here lasts an astonishing 6 minutes and 23 seconds, making it a prime viewing location! Other spots include southern Spain, Gibraltar, and even Mecca, Saudi Arabia. With 89 million potential viewers, this event will dwarf the visibility of the 2024 North American eclipse.

3. Total Solar Eclipse of 2028 (July 22)

Australia is in for a treat! This eclipse will pass over remote regions like the Bungle Bungles and the Devils Marbles as well as urban spots such as Sydney, offering 3 minutes and 48 seconds of totality. New Zealand’s South Island, including locations like Queenstown, will also enjoy this celestial marvel near sunset.

4. Total Solar Eclipse of 2030 (November 3)

Plan your adventure in Africa for this spectacular event, starting at Namibia's Skeleton Coast and gliding across Botswana to Durban, South Africa. This eclipse will be accessible to nearly 11 million viewers and offers the perfect opportunity to embark on a safari in Botswana or explore Namibia's breathtaking landscapes.

5. Hybrid Total-Annular Solar Eclipse of 2031 (April 8)

Don’t underestimate this rare eclipse! For about a minute, a unique hybrid phenomenon will simultaneously allow observers to experience the drama of totality and the enchanting “ring of fire.” While the best view will be from the North Pacific Ocean, cruise ship enthusiasts departing from Hawaii will have a front-row seat to this rare celestial occurrence.

6. Total Solar Eclipse of 2033 (March 30)

North America will once again witness a total solar eclipse! During the magic hour just after sunrise, residents of Alaska, specifically locations like Utqiagvik and Nome, will see an eclipsed sun hovering low on the horizon. This is an excellent chance to tie in your eclipse viewing with a visit during the northern lights season.

7. Total Solar Eclipse of 2034 (March 20)

Prepare for an epic journey across Central Africa and South Asia! Stretched over 13 countries, this eclipse will envelop 109 million people in totality. Prime viewing spots include the stunning Red Sea Coast in Egypt, the ancient site of Persepolis, Iran, and the dramatic landscapes of Leh in the Indian Himalayas.
