How To See The Epic 6-Minute Total Solar Eclipse In 2027
Libyan youths watch the solar eclipse in the desert tourist camp in Galo, 1300 km south of the ... More Libyan capital of Tripoli, 29 March 2006. Thousands of astronomers and thrill-seekers gazed heavenward, prayers were said by the faithful and schools shut for the day as the three-hour celestial ballet raced across half the world. AFP PHOTO/KHALED DESOUKI (Photo credit should read KHALED DESOUKI/AFP via Getty Images) There's a 6-minute total solar eclipse in 2027 — one of the longest and most significant eclipses of the 21st century. It will take place on Monday, Aug. 2, 2027, in 10 countries, but aside from a small partial solar eclipse in Newfoundland, Canada, it won't be visible from North America. Whether the length of totality is critical is arguable, but there's no doubt that the 2027 total solar eclipse will be an epic experience. Here's everything you need to know about the 2027 total solar eclipse — the 'Great North African Eclipse,' dubbed the 'eclipse of the century.' 6-Minute Total Solar Eclipse in 2027: Where Will It Be Visible? A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes directly between Earth and the Sun, fully covering the sun's disk for observers within a narrow path of totality. On Aug. 2, 2027, that path will be around 160 miles (258 kilometers) wide and pass through three continents: After a totally eclipsed sunrise in the ocean, the moon's central shadow will first touch land in the aptly-named Costa de la Luz (Coast of the Light) in Spain's Andalusia region and also envelop the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar. As the path touches southern Spain, it also hits Morocco, followed by Algeria, Tunisia, Libya and Egypt. It's in the latter that it reaches its longest duration at 6 minutes 22 seconds. The edge of the path also clips the northeastern corner of Sudan. After it leaves Egypt, the path crosses the Red Sea and enters Saudi Arabia, then Yemen. The path clips the Horn of Africa, including Somalia, then ends as a totally eclipsed sunset close to the Chagos Archipelago in the Indian Ocean. According to Timeanddate, the path crosses 89 million people — about twice as many as crossed by the total solar eclipse on Apr. 8, 2024, in North America. 6-Minute Total Solar Eclipse in 2027: How To Choose Where To Watch It Choosing where to experience the 2027 total solar eclipse will be down to what you want to experience and where you want to visit. However, it's a relatively rare eclipse in that the chances of clouds are small over most of the path. Luxor, Egypt, is where many eclipse chasers will head for its longest totality and the chance to visit the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut's Temple, Karnak, the Colossi of Menmom and Luxor Temple. However, Tunisia (specifically, the city of Sfax) is likely significantly cooler and still had 5 5-minute 42-second totality. Even Egypt has a few other options, such as Siwa Oasis (southwest of Cairo) and the Red Sea (though the path misses Hurghada). Southern Spain is another good option, albeit with a shorter totality.

The longest total solar eclipses take place when the moon is closest to Earth on its elliptical orbit, and when the its shadow strikes close to the equator (which is closer to the moon). Technically, a total solar eclipse could last 7 minutes 31 seconds, according to Jean Meeus, but the longest total solar eclipse known to have occurred was 7 minutes, 28 seconds on June 15, 743 BC, in the Indian Ocean. The longest until the year 3,000 will occur in the Atlantic Ocean on July 16, 2186, and last 7 minutes, 29 seconds. Northwest Fjord in the far reaches of Scoresbysund in eastern Greenland. When Is The Next Eclipse? It may be the longest of the century on land, but the 2027 eclipse is the middle child in three spectacular total solar eclipses coming up in succession. Since eclipse-mania is in full swing since 2024, eclipse chasers should start planning now. Wishing you clear skies and wide eyes.

Eva Longoria, 50, sizzles in tiny string bikini while soaking up the sun in Spain... after sharing her top 3 diet tips
Hollywood siren Eva Longoria has managed to stay an impressive size two even into her 50s. The Desperate Housewives actress showed off her toned form while on the beach in Marbella, Spain on Sunday with her husband José Antonio Bastón and son Santiago. The 50-year-old, who has been seen on her CNN docuseries Eva Longoria: Searching For Spain, had on a bright orange string bikini that left little to the imagination. The Texas native added a white cap, black sunglasses and dainty yellow gold jewelry as she flashed a fresh pale pink manicure. Eva displayed her toned frame and signature curves while basking in the Mediterranean sun in the Andalusia region of southern Spain, a place she has called home for the past year. This comes after the mother-of-one shared her top three diet hacks last year. Longoria's three diet tips are intermittent fasting, clean eating, and moderation. She follows a 16:8 fasting window (eating between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m.) and focuses on protein, leafy greens, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates She also avoids processed carbs, sugar, and fried foods, particularly during the early postpartum stage. She generally eats within an eight-hour window, typically between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m., according to Women's Health. She prioritizes whole, unprocessed foods like lean protein (chicken, fish, eggs), leafy greens, healthy fats (avocados, olive oil), and complex carbohydrates (quinoa, brown rice). The workout enthusiast cuts out processed carbs, sugar, and fried foods, especially after pregnancy, and incorporates protein into every meal and snack. She uses healthy fats like avocado in her meals and chooses complex carbs like quinoa and brown rice over refined grains. The cover girl believes in moderation and avoids restrictive diets, according to Celebwell, but generally gravitates towards healthy options. Eva emphasizes staying hydrated, says Prevention, which is a crucial part of any healthy lifestyle. Snacking includes almonds, yogurt, and fruit. The Texas native added a white cap, black sunglasses and dainty yellow gold jewelry as she flashed a fresh pale pink manicure Longoria shares son Santiago with husband José Antonio. Eva's travel docuseries Eva Longoria: Searching for Spain continues to perform strongly for CNN. After the success of Searching for Mexico, the Spanish edition led to yet another installment—this time taking the actress to France. 'France has long been a cornerstone of global cuisine, and I'm thrilled to be partnering with CNN for this next chapter in our culinary and cultural journey,' Longoria said in a statement, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter. In May Longoria said she always thought she'd become a success in Hollywood. The versatile actress has enjoyed a hugely successful career, starring in shows such as Only Murders in the Building, and Eva has now revealed that she never doubted her own talent. The actress told Byrdie: 'When I look at the longevity I've had in this industry, it makes sense to me. 'Of course, I'm going to work as hard as I can at whatever I do, and it just happens to be in this industry. I knew I'd be successful because I was surrounded by successful women - my mother, sisters, and aunts were independent, strong, smart, and charitable. She follows a 16:8 fasting window (eating between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m.) and focuses on protein, leafy greens, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates She also avoids processed carbs, sugar, and fried foods, particularly during the early postpartum stage. 'They were everything I wanted to be.' Eva's self-belief has helped her to navigate the pitfalls of Hollywood. She explained: 'I remember the first time I was on a billboard and somebody said to me, "Oh my god, who would have thought?" 'And I said, "Me. I thought it. I dreamt it." If you don't champion yourself, who else is going to? That unwavering belief in yourself will take you so far.' Despite this, Eva admits that her priorities have changed in recent years. The brunette beauty shared: 'When you're young, you should say yes to every opportunity, so you can decide what you want to do in life. 'Now that I'm 50, I'm prioritizing differently,' explained the close friend of ER star George Clooney. 'I'm curating my life to be very specific to what I want the next 50 years to look like. I'm spending more time with my family, working less, and doing more of what I love. 'Being financially secure helps with those decisions, but I feel I've worked hard enough to say 'no' now.' Eva has also confessed to becoming more health-conscious in recent years. The actress said: 'I don't mind ageing. I just want to age well. I'm grateful to be able to move my body and work out, hike up a mountain, and play with my son. I'm trying to be as mobile as possible for as long as possible.'
