The next total solar eclipse is on August 2, 2027. An earlier annular solar eclipse occurs on February 6, 2027, though it's visible from a much smaller, more remote area.
At up to 6 minutes 23 seconds, it's the longest total solar eclipse over land anywhere in the 21st century — not matched again until 2114.
Only locations within the path of totality (southern Spain through the Middle East) will see a total eclipse; much of Europe, Africa, and Asia will see a partial eclipse instead.
