About Eclipse 2027

On August 2, 2027 the moon's shadow crosses southern Spain, Gibraltar, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Yemen. Near Luxor, totality lasts more than six minutes — one of the longest total eclipses over land this century.

This site answers one question for any spot on Earth: what will I see, and when? Pick a place on the map and you get the exact local times of each stage of the eclipse, how long totality lasts, how high the sun will be, and — if you are outside the path — the nearest place to see totality.

How the times are calculated

Everything is computed in your browser from the eclipse's Besselian elements, the standard parameters astronomers use to describe the moon's shadow, with ΔT = 71.7 seconds. Local times use the time zone of the place you pick, including summer time. The same calculation powers our app, and both are checked against reference locations to the second.

Who we are

Eclipse 2027 is made by the team behind the Eclipse 2024 app, which helped viewers in the United States and Canada find totality on April 8, 2024.

How the site is funded

The site is free to use. Some links — for hotels, tours and eclipse glasses — are affiliate links: if you book or buy through them we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. It never changes which places we recommend: suggestions are based only on how much eclipse you will see.
