The so-called "eclipse of the century" won't happen for another two years. This total solar eclipse, which will last 6 minutes and 23 seconds at its peak, is expected to occur on August 2, 2027, according to NASA. This total eclipse, in which the moon moves smoothly between the sun and Earth and casts its shadow over it, will be one of the longest eclipses in decades. It will also be the longest eclipse until 2114. The path of this eclipse will be visible over parts of Africa, Europe, and the Middle East, according to the National Eclipse Center and NASA.
The countries along its path include Morocco and Algeria, as well as Tunisia, Libya, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Yemen. It will also be visible in Somalia, Spain, and Gibraltar. The total solar eclipse that occurred on April 8, 2024, lasted 4 minutes and 28 seconds at its peak. The eclipse in 1991 lasted 6 minutes and 53 seconds.
