Missed this year’s eclipse and have serious FOMO? Don’t worry, because there’s another one coming up in 2027 – and it’s being described as the ‘eclipse of the century’.
Taking place on 2 August 2027, this eclipse will be the longest on easily accessible land until 2114, with totality lasting six minutes and 23 seconds at the point of the greatest eclipse in Egypt.
For context, yesterday’s eclipse lasted for two minutes and 18 seconds at its maximum point.
You don’t have to travel all the way to Egypt to see it either, as the path of totality will pass through the Strait of Gibraltar before continuing through parts of North Africa and the Middle East.
Where in Europe and beyond to see the 2027 eclipse
