Total solar eclipse in 2027 to be longest of the century

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A total solar eclipse, dubbed the “eclipse of the century,” is set to occur on August 2, 2027, and will be visible from land for an exceptionally long duration. The eclipse's path will traverse southern Spain, North Africa, and the Middle East, offering up to 6 minutes and 23 seconds of totality in Luxor, Egypt. This extended duration is attributed to a precise alignment of celestial mechanics, including the moon's proximity to Earth and Earth's position relative to the sun, combined with the eclipse path's proximity to the equator.
