00:00Solar eclipses are rare events which occur when the moon passes in front of

00:08the Sun. They can turn a bright sunny day into something closer to night and it's

00:12a sight to behold. Just don't look right at it. Now NASA says it's mapped the next

00:16couple of solar eclipses that are expected to occur over the next few

00:19months and the best spots to watch them. The next one will occur pretty soon on

00:23October 14th and NASA has released a series of images showing the future

00:27eclipses paths. They say it will be viewable in only the western half of the

00:31United States starting in Texas and moving up towards Oregon and it will be

00:34a truly epic display. That's because the moon is at its furthest point from the

00:38earth during that eclipse meaning it's smaller resulting in a fiery ring

00:42protruding from its perimeter. But if you're an East coaster there's one

00:45coming up on April 8th 2024 as well. This one will be incredible for another

00:49reason. It's going to black out the Sun completely. That's because the moon is at

00:53its closest position and it will be the last solar eclipse of its kind causing

00:57extreme darkness until 2044. If you're looking to catch a glimpse of these

01:01incredible and rare events mark your calendars and don't forget your

01:05protective eyewear.
