The 2 August 2027 eclipse in Sidi Yahya Bni Zeroual

Sidi Yahya Bni Zeroual is inside the path of totality: the Sun will be completely covered for 1 min 12 s, from 08:47:11 to 08:48:23, Morocco time (GMT). 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.
