How to See the Epic 6-Minute Total Solar Eclipse in 2027
Get ready for a celestial spectacle of unprecedented proportions! A 6-minute total solar eclipse is set to take place on Monday, August 2, 2027, and this phenomenon won’t be visible from North America. But fear not, as we’re about to guide you through the must-know details to witness this epic event.
A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes directly between Earth and the Sun, fully covering the sun’s disk for observers within a narrow path of totality. On August 2, 2027, that path will be around 160 miles wide and span across three continents: North Atlantic Ocean, Southern Europe, and Africa.
The epic experience awaits in the following locations, depending on your preferences:
* Cadiz, Spain (2 minutes and 47 seconds)
* Tarifa, Spain (4 minutes and 39 seconds)
* Martil Beach, Morocco (4 minutes and 52 seconds)
* Oran, Algeria (5 minutes and 6 seconds)
* Sfax, Tunisia (5 minutes and 41 seconds)
* Kerkennah Islands, Tunisia (5 minutes and 42 seconds)
* Siwa Oasis, Egypt (5 minutes 29 seconds)
* Luxor, Egypt (6 minutes and 20 seconds)
* Berenice Troglodytica (Berenike), Egypt (6 minutes and 20 seconds)

Please note that the longest total solar eclipse known to have occurred was 7 minutes 28 seconds on June 15, 743 BC, in the Indian Ocean.
