The next total solar eclipse will take place this coming Friday, August 1. You might have to do some traveling to see its full effect, however. The eclipse will be most visible in northern Canada, then the Arctic, Russia, and China. People in northeastern North America, as well as most of Europe and Asia, will see a partial eclipse. If you miss this one, mark July 22, 2009 on your calendar. That total solar eclipse will be visible in India, China, Japan, and some islands in the South Pacific.
