I missed the last solar eclipse did you get to see it?
No I missed "The Great American Eclipse". It was a total solar eclipse visible across the US on August 21, 2017.
I missed it too. Do you know when the next one will be ?
The next total solar eclipse visible across North America will take place on April 8, 2024.
Six years away seems like a long time but I know they are rare
They are indeed. The longest duration of totality will be 4 minutes 28 seconds near the town of Nazas in Mexico.
That is not very long is it. What else can you tell me about solar eclipses I find it interesting
A total eclipse is when the disk of the Sun is fully obscured by the Moon.
Ok that makes sense, remember the Pink Floyd song Total Eclipse of the Moon
I think you mean "The Dark Side of the Moon" which was Pink Floyd's 8th studio album released in 1973.
