The Kingdom Prepares for the Century Eclipse and 2027 Astronomical Event
Morocco will witness an extraordinary total solar eclipse on August 2, 2027, one of the longest phenomena of the 21st century, with the eclipse lasting up to about six minutes in certain areas such as Abha. Meanwhile, other regions will experience a partial eclipse with coverage reaching approximately 80%. The eclipse path begins along the Red Sea coast and extends across important cities in the west and south of the kingdom. This presents a significant scientific and educational opportunity to enhance astronomical awareness, provided that safety guidelines are strictly followed to prevent direct viewing of the Sun without proper protective equipment. Experts emphasize the importance of preparing for this rare event, which will not reoccur with the same duration for many years. It will lead to a change in daylight, with the solar halo becoming visible and stars and planets becoming observable.
