If you missed this afternoon’s eclipse, don’t fret: There’s gonna be another one in less than a decade, which is a much better than the 38-year gap that preceded today’s.
The Washington Post‘s graphics department pulled together this nifty little image showing which states will see the next eclipse, which will take place in seven years. The good news is we’ll be much closer to its path, which should make for even better viewing.

In case you hadn’t heard, there was a solar eclipse today.
Not ones to miss a historic news event, Valley News employees gathered out on the lawn to catch a glimpse.
Meanwhile, in Burlington, Seven Days writer and Editor Paul Heintz took to Twitter to document that staff’s viewing party, which was not unlike our own.
Total Eclipse of the Heart singer Bonnie Tyler will perform her most-famous song on Monday during the solar eclipse. She will sing the song (which is iconic, tbh) at sea, aboard a Royal Caribbean ship, according to Buzzfeed News.
I’ve always said I’ll know I’ve met my soulmate when I find someone who willingly sings the Bright Eyes parts while I do my best Tyler impression. This song is a timeless classic.
Try to watch the eclipse on Monday without hearing this song in your head, I dare you. Or just watch the original music video above and try not to belt it out.
