Residents and astronomy enthusiasts in Saudi Arabia are set to witness a rare total solar eclipse on August 2, 2027. This event will be one of the longest total eclipses of the current century, with the Sun being obscured for approximately 6 minutes in some southern regions like Abha, and about 5 minutes and 50 seconds in Jeddah and the western coastal areas. This phenomenon will be accompanied by a transition of daylight into twilight, allowing the possibility of observing the solar halo, bright stars, and planets during the total eclipse. It presents a scientific opportunity to raise awareness about astronomy, while emphasizing the importance of following safety guidelines to avoid damage from direct viewing of the Sun.
