The 2 August 2027 eclipse in Nuuk
In Nuuk the eclipse on Monday 2 August 2027 is a small partial: the Moon covers at most 0.3% of the Sun, at 07:56 (local time, UTC-01:00), with the Sun 12.0° above the horizon.
With so little of the Sun covered, daylight does not change: you will only see it through certified eclipse glasses, never with the naked eye.
And totality? The Moon's shadow crosses southern Spain (Cádiz, Málaga, Ceuta and Melilla), northern Morocco and, further east, Egypt, where totality lasts 6 min 23 s near Luxor. The total eclipse in Spain
