Rare total eclipse causes temporary darkness in parts of Saudi Arabia on August 2, 2027
On August 2, 2027, Saudi Arabia will witness a total solar eclipse, one of the longest of the current century, with complete darkness lasting up to about 6 minutes in some southern regions such as Abha and Jeddah. This rare astronomical event has not occurred in over 75 years. The eclipse path will pass through the western and southern parts of the country, while other areas will experience a partial eclipse of up to 80%. This event presents an important scientific opportunity to enhance understanding of astronomy, accompanied by a call to adopt safety measures during observation, especially avoiding direct viewing of the Sun without proper protective equipment.
