If you missed today’s total solar eclipse just wait … until 2044

You might have to travel a bit - and wait a few years - but there will be another eclipse as long as the sun, moon and Earth are in orbit

• Millions across US, Mexico and Canada witness rare total solar eclipse
• Total solar eclipse over Mexico, US and Canada - in pictures

Maybe it was cloudy when you tried to view the eclipse, or you live outside the path of totality. Perhaps you enjoyed the spectacle so much that you just can't wait for the next one.

Either way, there are more opportunities coming to witness the celestial spectacle of a solar eclipse, even if you'll have to wait 20 years for the next one with totality to touch any part of the mainland US.
