Luxor to witness Egypt’s longest solar eclipse
Egypt will experience the longest total solar eclipse in the coming decades on August 2, 2027. The duration of the phenomenon in Luxor will last up to 6 minutes and 22 seconds, with the possibility of reaching 6 minutes and 23 seconds near the city. An eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, completely blocking the Sun's disk, causing a temporary darkness in the sky and illuminating the Sun’s corona around the Moon. The event follows a path that crosses several countries, including Spain, Morocco, and the Arab East. Luxor offers a unique opportunity to observe it, with the Sun at an elevation of 82 degrees. It is advised to use specially designed eclipse glasses when observing the partial phases, and it is safe to look directly with the naked eye only during the total phase.
