There will be no total solar eclipse in 2025, but an extraordinary celestial event awaits on August 2, 2027 the longest total solar eclipse of the century. During this rare phenomenon, the Moon will completely cover the Sun, casting a shadow over parts of the Earth and plunging regions into darkness for more than six minutes. This eclipse will begin over the eastern Atlantic and pass through southern Europe, North Africa, and parts of the Middle East. The maximum duration of totality, around 6 minutes and 23 seconds, will be visible near Luxor, Egypt in the early afternoon. The unique alignment of the Earth and Moon when the Moon is closest to Earth and the Sun is farthest will allow this prolonged darkness. Skywatchers within the narrow path of totality will witness an awe-inspiring blackout, revealing the Sun’s corona, planets, and stars in broad daylight. For many, this will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience offering a breathtaking reminder of the cosmic forces at play. #space #science #fact #facts #solareclipse
