According to the folks over at CBS News, folks can expect a Solar Eclipse in 2044 and 2045, however for Montana, 2044 is the big one.

Montana is in the direct path of the 2044 Solar Eclipse, at least part of Montana anyway. According to the map, the 2044 eclipse will mostly happen in Canada but will include parts of Montana and North Dakota.

The 2045 Solar Eclipse will cover several states including California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, and many states in the south.

What about after 2045? Well, unfortunately for many of us, the chances of us being around for the 2078 and 2099 Solar Eclipses might be a little slim. The 2078 eclipse is scheduled to cover much of the south, while the 2099 eclipse looks like it will cover the upper Midwest.
