What upcoming eclipses should we know about?

With the April 8 total solar eclipse behind us, North America will have to wait eight years for its next totality. Although a total solar eclipse in the same location occurs only every 375 years or so, eclipses are more common than you might think. In fact, a total or partial eclipse happens on our planet about once every 18 months, on average.
