The total darkness of the sun that will happen on August 2, 2027, is considered one of the most important astronomical events of the century. It will not be visible from Europe, Africa and the Middle East, and at the very end, the total darkness will last six minutes and 23 seconds. This is the first total darkness of the sun in the 21st century.
The very end of the total darkness will be seen in the nearby Egyptian city of Luxor, because Egypt is now being promoted as one of the most attractive places for development. The length of the darkness is the result of the many orbital positions of the Earth, the Moon and the Sun. The Moon will be close to perigee, or the point at which it is closest to the Earth, and will see a small portion of the sky.
At that time, the Earth will be close to aphelion, the farthest point from the Earth, and will see the farthest point of the sky.
