Longest total solar eclipse until 2114 to cross Africa and Asia in August 2027

On 2 August 2027, a total solar eclipse will traverse northern Africa and southwest Asia, with totality lasting up to 6 minutes and 23 seconds in some locations. This will be the longest such eclipse of the 21st century, surpassed only by one in 2009, and no longer one will occur until 2114. The path includes cities like Luxor, Tangiers, and Cádiz, where clear skies are likely and hotels are already heavily booked.
