The ‘eclipse of the century’ is coming in 2027

A total solar eclipse, the likes of which will never be seen again this century, is coming to the skies on August 2, 2027. This eclipse will be longer than any other in the past three decades. While it won’t be visible in North America, it may be the right time to plan a trip in hopes of witnessing the natural phenomenon.

Total darkness

The upcoming astronomical spectacle has been deemed the “eclipse of the century” because it is supposed to be the longest total solar eclipse until after 2100.
