This eclipse will be a total solar eclipse. While the Earth experiences, on average, a total eclipse every 18 months, total eclipses are not always visible from all locations on the planet. There have been only eight total solar eclipses hitting American soil since the signing of the Declaration of Independence! The US experienced a total solar eclipse in 2017 with the next one being on April 8th. After this we won’t see another solar eclipse over the US until August 12, 2045!
