He astronomical calendar marks a historical date that August 2, 2027 takes place on Longest total solar eclipse of the 21st century. On this day, the Moon will completely cover the Sun’s disk and project its shadow over much of the planet, creating a temporary “twilight” that will extend across the entire planet in some places. more than six minutesan exceptional duration for this type of phenomenon.

Experts emphasize that the combination between the proximity of the moon to the earth, The trajectory of the moon’s shadow and the curvature of the planet allow achieving a time of totality well above the usual average, which is usually between two and three minutes.

The practice of professional and critical journalism is a mainstay of democracy. That is why it bothers those who believe that they are the owners of the truth.
Where will the total solar eclipse be seen?
The band of totality will pass primarily through North Africa and part of the Eastern Hemisphere. The most privileged point to observe the phenomenon will be LuxorIn Egyptwhere the longest duration of the total solar eclipse is recorded.
The event can also be viewed in full at:
– Regions of the North Africa
– Areas of Middle East
– Sectors in southern Europe, such as Gibraltar
In the rest of the world, the eclipse will be partial: the sun will only be partially covered by the moon, providing a visible spectacle but without the visual and emotional impact of totality as the sky darkens and the temperature drops noticeably.

A record that will not be repeated any time soon
Duration is the factor that makes this solar eclipse an unprecedented event. Under optimal conditions the total phase will exceed the six minuteswhich positions it as the longest total solar eclipse of this century and one of the longest in modern times.
For this reason it was named by the scientific community the great North African solar eclipsea phenomenon that, according to current astronomical calculations, will only be repeated with similar characteristics 100 years.
There will be more solar eclipses before 2027, such as the one in February 2026, but it will be annular: the moon will not completely cover the sun, leaving a glowing ring visible without creating total darkness.

How a solar eclipse occurs
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon comes between the earth and the sun. Although the Sun is about 400 times larger than the Moon, it is also about 400 times further away, so both bodies appear similar in size from our planet.
This coincidence allows the moon to completely obscure the sun when aligned precisely. When this happens, a total solar eclipse occurs, one of the most impressive natural phenomena that can be observed from Earth. It can turn the day into a short night and attract the attention of millions of people around the world.
