On April 8, 2024, a total eclipse occurs in North America. This eclipse belongs to Saros 139, which will produce incredibly long eclipses. Saros 139 will hit its peak on July 16, 2186 with an eclipse just off the northern coast of South America which will be 7 minutes and 31 seconds long at the greatest eclipse point. It will be the longest eclipse for the next 1469 years thereafter. That length of totality is more or less the longest totality has a chance to last in a total eclipse.
