duration A total solar eclipse is always different. In April 2024, an eclipse that passed over North America lasted 4 minutes and 28 seconds. In contrast, what will arrive in Spain in August 2026 will take just 1 minute and 43 seconds. In less than two years, both will be ashamed of the longest marriage of the century.
According to NASA’s solar eclipse calendar, the longest solar eclipse in the past 100 years will occur on August 2, 2027. Its total phase lasts 6 minutes and 23 seconds. During this time, parts of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East will be under the moon’s shadow.
According to the NASA map, the eclipse will begin in Morocco and southern Spain. Then it will advance through Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt and Saudi Arabia and reach its peak in Yemen and the coast of Somalia. Its maximum duration will be recorded in Egypt, especially in Luxor and Aswan, which are famous for their funerary temples.
