Question: Hey, how often does an eclipse happen? (I hear theres one next friday!!)

Thomas Barrett answered on 9 Mar 2015:

There is an average of 2.4 solar eclipses every year, and four types of eclipse.

It depends on where you are in the world if you are going to get to see one. There is one next week (see bottom link) but we may not see it so well as it is further north.
