The world will fall into darkness for 6 minutes during the 2027 solar eclipse | - The Times of India

On August 2, 2027, a total solar eclipse will cast a shadow across parts of Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East, offering a rare spectacle of extended darkness. The event will be most dramatic near Luxor, where totality will last over six minutes, making it one of the longest eclipses of the century. As the Moon passes directly in front of the Sun, daylight will fade to dusk, revealing the Sun's corona and transforming the sky in a way that is both scientifically significant and emotionally memorable. Observers within the narrow path of totality will experience a profound change in light and atmosphere, while those outside will see only a partial eclipse. Safety precautions are essential for viewing, as only the brief period of totality is safe for unprotected eyes.
