Solar eclipses - maps and dates
There have been few more exciting things in my life than when I saw the total eclipse of the sun in August 1999 in the UK - even though it was partially obscured by clouds.
I am planning the timing of a trip to co-incide with a total eclipse in Egypt in August 2027 and am doing the shakedown trip to coincide with a total eclipse in Spain in August 2026. Hopefully there will be less cloud for these eclipses.
The source I have been tapping into for the date and location of eclipses is https://in-the-sky.org/eclipses_map.php. The page allows you to look at the world map and it shows the path of the eclipses over whatever time range you want (well, between 1950 and 2299). You can then click on the path and further information pops up.
