When is the next galactic eclipse?
Solar and lunar eclipses have become boring and humdrum, they are as common as a loaf of bread nowadays.
I think its time to raise the stakes a couple of notches and have a galactic eclipse to give life some meaning again. When and where is the best place to view it? Do I need to wear 3D glasses to see it?

There are quite a few galactic eclipses happening right now.
Galaxies move slowly so the eclipses last millions of years.
Here is a photo of one.

Inside the ring at the top is another (much smaller) galaxy which is being eclipsed by the larger one. You better hurry because the eclipse will be all over in a few million years.

If you're referring to the Milky Way galaxy (the galaxy we're in), there's no eclipsing of it because it cover way too much of the sky.
The only thing that will eclipse the Milky Way is a large cloud cover.

Will he Sun eclipsing Sagittarius A* and the Sagittarius Arm of the milky Way Galaxy be enough? That may be happening right now. Get on Stellarium and see whee the Sun is right now. My PC is dead. it will not turn on.
Ir do you mean an occultation, like the Moon Jupiter? You can look that up.
The Geminid meteor shower peaks tonight this morning. Dress in layers, and bring along something warm to drink. It's overcast and rainy where I am and gusty.

Perhaps you should explain what you think a "galactic eclipse" is and how it occurs.

Galactic eclipses are pretty groovy but once you've seen a few you may want to experience an eclipse of the multiverse, the next one is due in 4 billion years, mark it in your diary.
