Solar eclipse 2027: 6 minutes of total darkness awaits as one of the longest eclipses of the century awaits - The Times of India

A spectacular total solar eclipse is set to occur in 2027, promising up to 6 minutes and 23 seconds of darkness in some regions, making it one of the longest eclipses of the century. The path of totality will stretch from Spain through North Africa and the Middle East, with cities like Luxor, Tangiers, and Jeddah experiencing the full celestial event. During the eclipse, the Moon will completely block the Sun, revealing the Sun's corona and allowing stars and planets to become visible in the daytime sky. In India, only a partial eclipse will be visible, with the Moon covering a portion of the Sun. Observers are reminded to use proper eye protection when viewing the eclipse.
