Are you ready to take the umbra less traveled?
Yesterday was August 21, 2017. The Great American Eclipse crossed the USA, and it was stupendous! A bright beacon in our lives—connecting us to the ancient ones, to our vast cosmos and to our fragile homeworld floating in the blackness of space. Today is August 22. Now what?
In your hand is the most approachable, fun, and complete guide for exploring the next ten total and annular solar eclipses; all will hit our planet between now and the end of 2024. Just think… an eclipse. What a great excuse to see South America, India, Greenland or Tahiti. Perhaps a relaxing cruise this time? Over this seven-year period, two eclipses will sweep through the United States. This title is based on the best-selling book “Total Solar Eclipse 2017: Your Guide to the Next US Eclipse.” We’ve added new diagrams, better explanations, larger maps and entire new chapters. It includes everything to plan a successful trip, with dozens of tips from veteran eclipse chasers:

• •What it’s like to see totality, how an annular is different and why you want to see one. •Where on Earth to see them, including maps and best viewing locations.
• •Explanations for how it works; the corona, Baily’s beads, the diamond ring and more.
• •Secrets explained—why the shadow moves east when the Sun and Moon set in the west.
• •What gear to take, choosing binoculars, getting the best pictures from your camera.
• •How to observe safely plus a step-by-step guide to making binocular and camera filters.

Viewing a total solar eclipse is an emotional experience that should be on everyone’s bucket list. Soon the universe will reveal itself in an epic show more astonishing than anything ever devised by the magic of Hollywood or Disney. Mother Nature’s multi-gigaton, 24/7 nuclear inferno in the sky, is going to put on a show. Don’t miss the performance.
