The next major Total Solar Eclipse, which is regarded as an "eclipse of a century" , is expected to be witnessed on August 2, 2027, over the Atlatic ocean, North Africa, Middle East and Southern Europe.
Whenever the moon can be carried ahead of the sun and it’s comparatively larger in size then a Total Solar Eclipse occurs and the moon entirely veils the circle of Sun.
'Eclipse of century'
The covered path of totality will include multiple countries such as Spain, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Chagos Islands, and etc measuring approximately 160 miles.
This expected solar eclipse is expected to bring the longest totality period since 2009 and on land since 1991, that’s why it has been regarded as “eclipse of the century".
It would be a record-breaking solar eclipse with the longest remaining totality of the on-going century for approx six minutes and 23 seconds. After this, the next longest totality consisting solar eclipse will take place on August 12, 2045.
