The \u201ceclipse of the century\u201d is set to take place on Aug. 2, 2027, according to NASA, with the moon moving between the sun and the Earth for up to 6 minutes and 23 seconds. <\/p>\n

It will be the longest eclipse totality until the year 2114, USA Today reports. <\/a><\/p>\n

Americans hoping to witness the spectacle will need to make travel plans, as only a partial solar eclipse will be visible in parts of Maine\u00a0between 5:14 and 5:19 a.m. on that day. <\/p>\n

For a better look at what is being dubbed \u201cthe natural event of the century,\u201d sky-watchers will have to head overseas. <\/p>\n

The track of the eclipse is 9,462 miles long and will cross areas including southern Spain, northern Morocco, and northern Algeria, Forbes reports. <\/a><\/p>\n

However, the best view will be just outside Luxor, Egypt, which will experience a staggering 6 minutes 23 seconds of totality.<\/p>\n

That will make the eclipse the longest since July 11, 1991, when totality lasted up to 6 minutes and 53 seconds in some locations. <\/p>\n

Those who can\u2019t wait two more years for the phenomenon will be pleased to know a shorter solar eclipse will occur next August. <\/p>\n

That eclipse will occur on Aug. 12, 2026 and will be visible in parts of Greenland, Iceland, Spain, Russia and Portugal, per NASA. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In two years from tonight, all eyes will be on the sky.
