ELI5: how often do total solar eclipses actually happen?
I feel like I see people saying "this won't happen again for 1000 years!" whenever there's a solar eclipse, but then there also seems to be one every like, 18 months.
Say I live in London, England. How many total solar eclipses will I see in my life if I live to 100? Does that number change at all if I live in somewhere on the North/South poles or closer to the Equator?
