The 2 August 2027 eclipse in Matay
Matay is inside the path of totality: the Sun will be completely covered for 32 s, from 12:57:02 to 12:57:34 Egypt time (UTC+3). Note: this is at the edge of the path. The Moon’s rugged limb shifts that edge by a kilometre or two, so totality may last a few seconds more or less, or not happen at all. The closer to the centre line, the safer and the longer.
