Once in a lifetime on the current track maybe. But the next one after this one happend in 2033.

Hey, you can't tell people in the past that! They might figure out the moon gets destroyed later. You want the time authority to vaporize you or something?

I am a Time Authority. Not a Lord, mind you. Those worthies get to tool around those fancy teleboxes doing all kinds of adventurous, dare i say, romatic escapades. We mere Authorities merely monitor and report. Vaporization is above my pay grade

I was 20km from the path of the totality. The next one I'll even be able to see a partial eclipse isn't happening until ~2045.

There was a great episode of NOVA on pbs last night talking indepth about eclipses and their frequency. The gist wad that they have known how to predict them to within 4 minutes and they occur about every 7 years
