"2045 Solar Eclipse: Missouri's Limited Totality"

Missouri experienced a total solar eclipse this week, but the next one passing through the state is not until 2045, with only a small part of the state in the path of totality. The eclipse will stretch across 15 states, barely reaching Missouri, with municipalities like Southwest City and Noel in the most favorable spots for totality. The 2045 eclipse will follow another in 2044, and both will occur more than two decades after the recent eclipse.
