05/21/2012 – Ephemeris – What are the next solar eclipses to be visile from Northern Michigan?
Ephemeris for Monday, May 21st. Today the sun will be up for 15 hours and 2 minutes, setting at 9:10. The moon, 1 day past new, will set at 10:01 this evening. Tomorrow the sun will rise at 6:07.
With yesterday’s solar eclipse now history, when will we see the next one? The next solar eclipse visible from northern Michigan is another partial eclipse interrupted by sunset. That one’s on October 24, 2014, about two and a half years from now. It will be a partial eclipse for anyone able to see it. The central part of the moon’s shadow will miss earth to the north. In three years after that is a total eclipse whose path of totality crosses the United States from Oregon to South Carolina. That one is special to me. It will be the third saros periods of the first total eclipse I saw, back on July 20, 1963. Eclipses repeat in 18 years 10 or 11 1/3 days called a saros. The August 21, 2017 is that eclipse.
Times are for the Traverse City/Interlochen area of Michigan. They may be different for your location.

What was the view like from Sleeping Bear? We had cloudy skies in Manistee with a couple of breaks.
