august 2 2027 total solar eclipse
The solar eclipse of August 2, 2027 has the second-longest totality between 2001 and 2100 in NASA's catalog: 6 minutes 23 seconds at the point of greatest eclipse, near Luxor in Egypt, with the Sun 82 degrees high. The 258 km band crosses southern Spain, Morocco, Algeria, Libya, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Somalia. The tool computes the contacts for any city on that route and shows what Lisbon or Madrid see, since they sit in the partial zone.
6 min 25 s of totality with the Sun nearly overhead.
Almost 3 minutes of totality.
Almost 5 minutes of totality.
Partial: outside the band of totality.
Partial, with the Sun at 35 degrees.
Between 1901 and 2100, NASA's catalog (Espenak) lists 2 to 5 solar and 2 to 4 lunar eclipses a year, 4 to 7 in all. They come in seasons: the Sun crosses the plane of the Moon's orbit about every 173 days, so there are two seasons a year, each with a solar and a lunar eclipse about two weeks apart. In 2026 there are four: an annular solar eclipse on February 17, a total lunar on March 3, a total solar on August 12 and a partial lunar on August 28.
NASA gives 6 minutes 23 seconds at the point of greatest eclipse, and the tool computes a little over 6 minutes 25 seconds for Luxor, the best-known city on the band, where the Sun is 82 degrees high.
From Portugal yes, as a partial: Lisbon reaches 92% obscuration, with maximum at 9:44 a.m. From Brazil no: the Moon's shadow does not touch the country.
258 km at the point of greatest eclipse, according to NASA's catalog. For comparison, the April 8, 2024 one was 198 km wide and the August 12, 2026 one will be 294 km.
