Comment on Total superiority
GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 8 months agoAccording to Wikipedia, and data for the last century, there were 73 annular and 71 total eclipses, which is pretty close to the same. List of 20th century eclipses. Now, I haven’t checked to see if there are more of one than the other in the eclipse cycle, but given the difference of 2 over a century and the cycle taking 18 years, it can’t be more than one.
But see them while you can. In the distant future, there won’t be any total eclipses.

I was just thinking this. Can we / have we calculated when the last total eclipse will be?

Yes, we can!
