Why 2027's total solar eclipse is dubbed the 'eclipse of the century'
Original: Why is the 2027 total solar eclipse being called the 'eclipse of the century'?
The total solar eclipse on August 12, 2027 is being called the 'eclipse of the century' because it will feature an exceptionally long duration of totality — over six minutes in places — with the path of totality crossing southern Spain, North Africa and the Middle East under typically clear summer skies. Space and news outlets are explaining what makes this eclipse stand out from recent ones and why observers are already planning trips to see it.
Why now: Coverage is building ahead of an exceptionally long and widely visible total eclipse expected to draw huge crowds to Spain, North Africa and the Middle East.
