Solar eclipse of August 2, 2027

The total solar eclipse of August 2, 2027, will be a significant astronomical event. With a magnitude of 1.079, the eclipse will occur as the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, completely obscuring the Sun's light along a narrow path, turning day into darkness. This total eclipse is happening at the Moon's descending node and approximately 2.5 hours before perigee, resulting in a larger apparent diameter of the Moon. Consequently, the totality will be visible within a specific path, while a partial eclipse will be observable across a much wider surrounding region on Earth.
