The American space agency NASA has confirmed that a rare and one-of-a-kind total solar eclipse, set to be the longest of the century, will occur in August 2027.
This extraordinary astronomical event will begin on Monday, August 2, 2027, at 10:06 PM Universal Time (UTC).
According to NASA, the 2027 solar eclipse will last for a remarkable 6 minutes and 23 seconds, making it a historic event following the long eclipses of 1991 and 2009. Astronomers have consequently dubbed it the “Eclipse of the Century.”
The shadow of the moon will pass over various regions of North Africa, Europe, and the Middle East.
The phase of complete darkness (totality) will be clearly visible in several areas, including
North Africa: Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia.
Europe: Spain.
Middle East: Saudi Arabia, Yemen.
Other Regions: Somalia, as well as parts of the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean.
A solar eclipse occurs when the Sun, Moon, and Earth align in a straight line, causing the Moon to completely block the light of the Sun for a brief period.
The Sun briefly takes the shape of a bright diamond ring.
A significant drop in temperature also occurs during the period of totality.
