If your instance is any indication of location: there's an eclipse visible in most Oceania and SE Asian islands in 2028. For a good chunk of Australia and NZ, it'll be a total eclipse. For further info, check it here.
For me (South America) there's one already in October, but it'll suck from my region (14% coverage). And another in 2027 (~75% coverage).
Cool thanks! I still think it’s a broad brush of a statement that could be qualified a little.
I've got this one in my calendar already, and have organised preliminary accommodation!
The big difference is how close the sun is to solar maximum this year! The sun is at a point of peak electromagnetic activity, something that happens every 10 to 13 years, which is reflected in more chance of witnessing bursts of energy (flares and ejections) during the eclipse.
It in all likelihood will have passed by 2028.
