I’m the world's only solar eclipse journalist. I'm the editor of WhenIsTheNextEclipse.com and author of The Complete Guide To The Great North American Eclipse of April 8, 2024 and When Is The Next Eclipse? A traveler’s guide to total solar eclipses 2024-2034.
When is the total solar eclipse? It's a simple enough question, but the world's most popular AI chatbot is not up to the job. In fact, if you trust what ChatGPT tells you, you'll be told that the next one happened three and a half years ago on another continent.

But between April 8, 2024, and August 23, 2044, there will be a whopping 13 total solar eclipses.

The next total solar eclipse after August 23, 2044, will be August 12, 2045—and that one’s arguably the “Greatest American Eclipse” of all.ChatGPT is inconsistent, biased towards events happening in the U.S., and, most worrying of all, very often completely wrong about solar eclipses.
