2027 Total Solar Eclipse Dubbed the 'Eclipse of the Century'

Original: Why is the 2027 total solar eclipse being called the 'eclipse of the century'?

Astronomers and media outlets are calling the August 12, 2027 total solar eclipse the 'eclipse of the century' because of its exceptionally long duration of totality and its path crossing heavily populated areas. Reports say the moon's shadow will pass over southern Spain, North Africa and the Middle East, offering millions of people an unusually lengthy view of the fully eclipsed sun.

Why now: Advance coverage of the eclipse's rare duration and wide visibility over populated regions is drawing public attention years ahead of the event.
