The next total solar eclipse in North America will happen in 20 or so years, and will mostly be over the wilds of western Canada. This eclipse goes right over my house. Yes Eclipses are not rare they happen roughly every 18 months, but total (not annular) solar Eclipses that are easy and convenient to view in totality are rare. This will probably be the only total solar eclipse I see in my entire life.

If you're really invested one goes over Europe in 2026 with very good viewing in Iceland and northern Spain.

It's not "really good viewing". It'll happen practically at sunset so it won't even be visible for those who can't see the horizon.
