The long-predicted Total Solar Eclipse 2024 just went over the skies of a handful of fortunate countries, dazzling million around the globe yesterday (April 8, 2024), while also leaving many to brace for the next one the horizon.
As the celestial spectacle was destined to make a show and be pretentious of its stages — which based on a meek appearance which we saw initially and the severe sight of totality which only a some fortunate ones could relish — masses are now wondering over what regions will fall under next solar eclipse's route to totality.
Fortunately, perks being the privilege of living in a highly fostered era on all counts, the technology also aided in unfolding the intricacies inherent in a solar eclipse's path while capturing the mesmerising pictures of the celestial splendour for the stargazers.

Let us walk you through what findings have been divulged by the scientist associated with immensely geared up, space exploratory firms like NASA regarding the Total Solar Eclipse 2024 in view of the path followed by it.
When is next solar eclipse?
According to NASA, August 23, 2044 is most likely, probable the exact, date for the next total solar eclipse that will be visible from the contiguous US.
Compared to the one we witnessed, chances to behold the 2044 solar eclipse for those residing in the US have been predicted to diminish. While the space exploration organisation has not disclosed the map for that one, The Planetary Society says the path of totality will only touch three states, beginning from Greenland, and passing over Canada to end in Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota.
As of the Total Solar Eclipse 2044, those living near Torreón, Mexico, got to witness totality for the longest which lasted around 4 minutes, 28 seconds, according to NASA.

Total Solar Eclipse 2024's path of totality map
Mentioned above were the major cities whose portions were included in the eclipse's path of totality in the US, while various other states saw a partial eclipse.
Total Solar Eclipse 2024's path of totality in the US involved its outset in the US as a partial eclipse at 12:06 p.m. CDT near Eagle Pass, Texas, before moving to totality by about 1:27 p.m. CDT and then along its path to the northeast for its remaining course of time.
Total Solar Eclipse 2024's path of totality outside the US
While the Total Solar Eclipse 2024 hovered over a considerable map of the US, people residing outside might not have seen a partial eclipse, according to NASA. These findings reveal that the closer you are to the path of totality, the larger part of the sun will be hidden.
