The Atlas of Solar Eclipses - 2020 to 2045 is an adventure guide for eclipse chasers traveling the world in search of nature's most stupendous sight, a total eclipse of the Sun. The atlas covers every type of solar eclipse around the world - total, annular, and partial - with overview, regional, and detail maps. Emphasis is given to total solar eclipses in heavily populated areas, such as the 2024 April 8 eclipse across North America, the 2027 August 2 eclipse over Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, and the 2045 August 12 eclipse crossing North and South America. The maps are designed to give the reader important information for choosing optimal locations for viewing total and annular solar eclipses, along with explanations of the types of solar eclipses and the phenomena an eclipse viewer will see. Accompanying text gives details of circumstances such as the time of day, sky altitude of eclipse, special situations, viewing advice, and points of interest along the path of each eclipse. The atlas is richly illustrated and developed in an easy-to-understand style and includes summary world maps of every solar eclipse from 1901 to 2100.

On Sunday, October 14, 2023, an annular eclipse of the Sun will be visible from parts of the United States. Although a partial eclipse will be seen from all of North America, the annular phase in which the Moon's disk is completely silhouetted by the Sun (known as annularity) is only visible from a narrow path of the Moon's antumbral shadow as it sweeps through the western USA (Oregon, California, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas), Mexico, Central and South America. The Road Atlas for the Annular Solar Eclipse of 2023 contains a comprehensive series of 29 maps of the path of annularity across the USA, Mexico, Central and South America. The large scale (1 inch ¿ 28 miles) shows both major and minor roads, towns and cities, rivers, lakes, parks, national forests, wilderness areas and mountain ranges. The path of annularity on each map is depicted as a lightly shaded region with the northern and southern limits clearly identified. The "ring of fire" annular phase can only be seen inside this path. The closer one gets to the central line of the path, the longer the annular eclipse lasts. Gray lines inside the path mark the duration of the annular eclipse in 30 second steps. This makes it easy to estimate the duration of annularity from any location in the eclipse path.
