Complete account of solar eclipse of 2026 and 2027

Solar eclipse is considered a very important event both from the viewpoint of astronomy and astrology. There is a total of two solar eclipses in the year 2026, one of which has already occurred and the other is eagerly awaited by scientists and common people. At the same time, the year 2027 is also going to be very exciting in terms of astronomical events because two solar eclipses will take place that year too. People often have this question in their mind that when will these eclipses occur and which of these eclipses will be most effective? Let us know in detail about the eclipse calendar of these two years.

First eclipse of 2026 and big changes to come

Earlier this year, the first solar eclipse has occurred on 17 February 2026. This was an ‘annular’ solar eclipse, in which the Moon did not completely cover the Sun, but a bright circle was visible around the Sun which is called ‘Ring of Fire’. However, the scene was not available to Indian audiences as it was primarily seen in Antarctica and parts of the Southern Hemisphere.

Now all eyes are on the total solar eclipse to occur on August 12, 2026. This eclipse will show its full effect in Iceland, Greenland and Arctic regions. During this time, many parts of Greenland, Spain and Russia will suddenly become dark during the day, which will be a wonderful sight. It will be partially visible in many countries of Europe and Africa, but this time also the eclipse will not be visible in India.

The ‘greatest eclipse of the century’ will take place in 2027

The series of eclipses will continue in the next year i.e. 2027 also. The year will start with an annular solar eclipse on 6 February 2027, in which the magic of ‘Ring of Fire’ will be seen again. It will be visible in the skies of South America and Africa. But the real thrill is going to happen on 2nd August 2027. The total solar eclipse occurring on this day will not be an ordinary event, rather it is being called the ‘longest solar eclipse of the century’.

This eclipse of August 2027 will be recorded in the pages of history because its duration will be very long. The sun will be completely hidden for about 6 minutes and the day will be like night. This unique sight can be clearly seen in Southern Spain, North Africa and the countries of the Middle East. The most important thing is that this solar eclipse can be partially visible in India, which will make it a big opportunity for Indian sky-watchers.
