Total solar eclipses occur somewhere on the planet approximately every 18 to 24 months. However, most of the planet is not accessible accept by ship or arctic/antarctic expeditions. As Tarana stated, the next full eclipse in the USA won't be until 2045. So if you live in the USA you will either have a very long wait of 21 years or you will have to travel outside the country to see one. If you are old like me (66 years old) the April 2024 total solar eclipse was very likely the last one I will ever get to see. It was also the first one I ever saw. If you are in good enough health and have the mobility, time, and money to travel to see one I highly recommend it.
