A rare celestial phenomenon is on the way, and skywatchers are already making calenders. It will be the most memorable solar eclipse in the last century as the whole of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East will experience the longest total solar eclipse ever witnessed in 100 years. For more than six minutes minutes, daylight will fade, temperatures will drop and the whole world will briefly fall into darkness.
The most extraordinary event of 2027 is the total solar eclipse, which will take place in August and will become the longest one in 100 years, and it is going to produce a spectacular alignment of the sun, the moon, and the planet.
The eclipse will be the one of its kind in the generations. With the sun being blocked by the moon, the sky will get dark, the temperatures will decrease, and the stars could be seen during the day. It will be a lifetime opportunity for most to see nature make one of the most dramatic shows, according to a report by The Daily Galaxy.
NASA data on eclipses indicates that the total solar eclipse what will occur on August 2, 2027, will cover a geographical area that is unusually large. It will initially visit Morocco and Southern Spain and then sweep across Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and Egypt. It will then extend over the Middle East until it reaches Yemen and Somali coast.
The climatic aspect of the trip will be in Egypt. Cities like Luxor and Aswan, which are already famous with their ancient temples and historical value will have the greatest period of totality. The eclipse shall take 6 minutes and 23 seconds there, which will provide the audience with a long period of time to observe the sky changing into a strange twilight as it will be reported by The Daily Galaxy.
It is even more marvelous to observe the shadow of the moon crossing the ancient monuments. The world is surrealistically still as the daylight wears out. It will be a memory of a lifetime to those who are lucky enough to be on the road.
The coordination of the time between the earth, moon and the Sun will make the August 2027 event unusually long. According to NASA in its Solar Eclipse Page, it’s total phase will be 6 minutes and 23 seconds which has not been experienced in 100 years. The same lengthy eclipses will not recur until much after the year 2045 and so this particular eclipse is particularly important to astronomers and eclipse chasers as reported by The Daily Galaxy.
The scarcity emphasizes the reason why many are looking forward to travelling to be present to observe the moment.
