Maybe a location thing. The current eclipse passes through NY today, the next one touching NY won’t be until 2079. Texas 2045. So it’s all over the place time-wise between eclipses and location.

Also there are a lot more partial eclipses then total like today.
I propose that the next big NASA project should be to fix those stupid 5° tilt on the moons orbital plane.

Eclipses might be a dime-a-dozen, but Halley's Comet doesn't mess around. My grandad saw it twice. I hope to, too. It comes once every 75 years. The last time was 1986. The next is 2061. If you were born today, you'd have to live to be 112 years-old to see it a second time.
I was 6 the last time Halley's Comet swung through. I'm honestly hoping to see it three times.
