Seeing a total solar eclipse ('totality' - when the sun is fully
obscured by the moon) is a bucket-list event, generating a sense of
wonder and even an 'end-of-the-world' sensation. New from Bradt,
Solar Eclipses 2024-2027 is the only guide to cover the world's
next three total solar eclipses, arguably Nature's most incredible
spectacle. Written by an eclipse expert, this guide offers
potential eclipse-tourists and eclipse-chasers alike everything
they need to understand, prepare for and travel to each eclipse.
Each eclipse will be remarkable in its own right. The 2024 totality
will be visible in 15 US states, six Canadian provinces and parts
of Mexico. The events offer US residents a second bite at the
cherry, after many people regretted not travelling a short distance
into the 2017 eclipse zone. The 2026 event is Europe's first
totality since 1999 and will be visible in Greenland, Iceland and
Spain. The 2027 eclipse (visible from Spain, Gibraltar, Morocco,
Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Somalia) will
be the longest until 2168. Chapters explain the climatology of each
eclipse track, chart the sky during totality, and advise precisely
where and when to see it - with detailed information on duration,
altitude and timings for various locations. Such travel advice is
critical, because the best eclipse-viewing locations tend to be in
relatively remote places that either require careful planning or
advance booking on specialist tours, which have limited capacity. A
complementary chapter helps the beginner understand eclipse
science, the types of solar eclipse and great historical eclipses.
Another details other minor eclipses during 2024-2027 plus the
annular eclipses due in 2023 and 2028, when the moon obscures all
but the outer ring of the sun. Another chapter provides advice on
how to prepare for and photograph solar eclipses. Throw in a
schedule of eclipses through to 2050, and listings for tour
operators specialising in eclipse tourism and the result is the
most detailed eclipse guide around - perfect for everyone from
beginners to experts via anyone who wants an excuse to travel
somewhere different.
