Another Solar Eclipse is Coming (and You Don’t Have to Wait 100 Years)

If you are a resident of planet earth, you probably heard about the long-awaited solar eclipse that caused millions to stop and look up to the sky (hopefully with glasses on). Texans were treated to lunch and a show as the moon passed over the sun with 75 percent coverage in Dallas and about 67 percent coverage in Houston.

Don’t feel too bad if you missed the celestial show – even if it was hyped as a once in a lifetime happening. There actually will be another solar eclipse that passes directly over Texas in April 2024. In fact, Dallas will be one of the cities in the path of totality for the upcoming eclipse.

The next eclipse, expected to occur on April 8, 2024 is expected to be visible on a diagonal path, running from Texas to Maine, according to NASA. The best spots to view it are expected to be in Mexico, the central United States and east Canada.

But until then, you’ll have to relive the eclipse-mania of 2017 in our photo gallery. We’ve gathered some of the most stunning solar images for your viewing pleasure – no protective eyewear needed.

From across the United States and in Texans’ backyards, here are our favorite Instagram snaps from the solar eclipse.
