Are you preparing for the "eclipse of the century"? Once word gets out about the landmark total solar eclipse on Aug. 2, 2027, you can bet that thousands of eclipse chasers will plan a trip to the path of totality.
Perhaps the biggest draw of this landmark solar eclipse is the length of totality, which will reach 6 minutes, 23 seconds. The potential viewing locations will attract many onlookers, with ancient Egyptian temples and Roman ruins within the path of totality. And who can overlook the excellent weather prospects? Whereas clouds can often block eclipses, that's unlikely to happen on Aug. 2, 2027, because from some locations, there's a nearly zero chance of clouds.
