David Baron

The veteran science journalist, broadcaster and umbraphile—who has witnessed nine total solar eclipses across the globe—is also the author of the award-winning “American Eclipse: A Nation’s Epic Race to Catch the Shadow of the Moon and Win the Glory of the World.” David has traveled to every continent and more than 50 countries for work and pleasure.  An avid eclipse chaser, he has crossed the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Australia to stand in the moon’s shadow and witness nature’s grandest spectacle: a total eclipse of the sun. 

 
Coming up next: David Baron is one of two Eclipse experts on our 13-day Iceland to Greenland: Total Solar Eclipse from August 6 to 18, 2026 on Ultramarine. David will deliver the keynote presentation: “Scientific America: The Eclipse That Enlightened A Nation.”
