We are in the Golden Age of Solar Eclipses, but only for the moment. In fact, we may already be past peak solar eclipse conditions, and it’s all downhill from here. This Minutephysics video explores the reasons why we see slightly more annular or “ring of fire” eclipses than total solar eclipses, and explains how the Moon’s changing orbit means that in about half a billion to a billion years, Earth will see the last total solar eclipse in history.
