If you missed today's solar eclipse, fear not, there will be plenty more to come. And some that will be a lot more fun to watch. Consider this your future solar eclipse planning guide.

Using historical data from NASA and Wikipedia , Tyler Convey at MicroStrategy was able to piece together a helpful solar eclipse chart. The green dot is today's "great" solar eclipse, and the red dots are all the future solar eclipses that will be visible in the United States. The size of the dot is the solar eclipse's duration, while each dot's placement on the chart represents the width of the solar eclipse's path (or area where it will be visible).

Here's a quick breakdown of what we'll be able to see stateside:

• April 8, 2024 
• April 12, 2045 
• March 30, 2052 
• May 11, 2078 
• May 1, 2079 
• September 14, 2099 

But, if you're willing to do a little traveling, there are a lot more solar eclipses coming up. Here's the next few you can see elsewhere in the world:

• July 2, 2019 
• December 14, 2020 
• December 4, 2021 
• August 12, 2026 
• August 2, 2027 

So, as you can see, you really only have to wait two more years if you plan accordingly. Start booking things now!
