Veteran Eclipse Chasers Advise Against Luxor for 2027 Eclipse Despite Record Totality
Eclipse enthusiasts are facing a decision between two significant solar eclipses occurring in 2026 and 2027. The 2026 eclipse will pass over parts of Europe, including Spain and Iceland, offering a totality lasting just over two minutes. In contrast, the 2027 eclipse, dubbed the 'eclipse of the century,' will occur over Luxor, Egypt, with a totality lasting over six minutes. Despite the longer duration, veteran eclipse chasers argue that the focus should be on the experience of totality rather than its length. They caution against the rush to Luxor, citing logistical challenges and high costs.
