CLEVELAND — Experiencing a total solar eclipse here in Ohio truly is a rare, once-in-a-lifetime moment.
Prior to the eclipse on April 8, 2024, officials say the last time Ohio found itself in the path of totality was way back in 1806.
But when is the next one?
We'll have to wait until Sept. 14, 2099, before the next solar eclipse cuts through Ohio -- but Cleveland, Akron, Canton, Medina and other areas in Northeast Ohio will just narrowly miss out on totality as the center line slices through communities just north of Columbus.
FAST FORWARD MORE THAN 400 YEARS
To experience the next total solar eclipse here in Cleveland, Akron and other parts of Northeast Ohio, you'll have to wait more than 400 years until it arrives in 2444, according to the Cleveland Museum of Natural History.
Hopefully we'll have clear skies that day...
So what are you waiting for? Start your plans now!
