Solar Eclipses 2024-2027: Where and When to Experience Totality by Sheridan Will

Description: Solar Eclipses 2024-2027 by Sheridan Williams Solar Eclipses 2024-2027. Indispensable guide to the three next total solar eclipses worldwide in 2024 (USA, Canada, Mexico), 2026 (Greenland, Iceland, Spain) and 2027 (Spain, North Africa, Middle East). Provides tracking information for each eclipse and detailed travel advice on where to see it. Also covers annular eclipses in 2023 and 2028. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description 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 worlds next three total solar eclipses, arguably natures 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 Europes 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. Including a schedule of eclipses through to 2050, plus listings for operators specializing in eclipse tourism, this is the most detailed eclipse guide around - perfect for everyone from beginners to experts via anyone who wants an excuse to travel somewhere different. AUTHOR: Sheridan Williams watched his first total solar eclipse through smoked glass from his school playground in 1954. Since then, he has travelled the world - from Antigua to Australia, Mexico to Madagascar, Siberia to Sumatra - to see 18 total solar eclipses. Once a professional rocket scientist for the UK Ministry of Defence, Williams has become a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, received the British Astronomical Associations Lydia Brown medal, and served as secretary of the Open University Astronomy Club. He has written extensively about total solar eclipses, including authoring previous Bradt guides to the total solar eclipses of 2006, 2008/09, and 2012/13. He lectures widely to astronomical societies, is an astronomy-travel consultant, and guides groups to see astronomical events such as aurorae and meteor showers. He initiated education tours at the National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park, where attractions include Colossus, the worlds first programmable digital computer. He lives in Leighton Buzzard (UK). Author Biography Sheridan Williams watched his first total solar eclipse through smoked glass from his school playground in 1954.
