Now that the much-anticipated solar eclipse is over, you may be wondering when we’ll see the next one.

Photos from the 2017 eclipse

According to NASA, the next annular solar eclipse that will be visible in the continental United States will be on October 14, 2023. But you’ll have to drive at least as far south as Northern California to experience its totality. It’s path will move southeast to Florida.

The next total solar eclipse isn’t much of a wait. It will occur on April 8, 2024, according to NASA. But start planning for your trip now, because it’ll only be visible from Texas to Maine.

Before Monday’s eclipse, the last total solar eclipse seen across the United States was on Feb. 26, 1979. Its path stretched from Washington to North Dakota to Quebec.
