After a six-year wait since the last total solar eclipse in the United States, viewers will have to wait even longer for the next one. The next total solar eclipses in North America are not anticipated until 2044 and 2045.

Eclipse-watchers waited more than six years since the last time a total solar eclipse charted its way across the United States, in 2017. After the April 8 event, prepare to wait a lot longer — the next chance won't be coming around any time soon.Viewers in what's called 'the path of totality' saw the moon completely block the sun — an opportunity those in North America won't have again for 20-plus years.

There will be eight total solar eclipses visible from North America in the 21st century, Arav said, with one occurring about every 12 years, on average. The next total solar eclipse to cross North America is predicted to occur on Aug. 23, 2044, NASA said. However, the path of totality from this eclipse will only touch three states, according to The Planetary Society, a nonprofit organization dedicated to public interest in space. This next eclipse will mainly be observed in Canada, Arav said.
