The 2 August 2027 eclipse in Saylah ash Sharqiyah
Saylah ash Sharqiyah is inside the path of totality: the Sun will be completely covered for 55 s, from 12:56:41 to 12:57:35 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.
