Eclipse 2027: Local Times

Will you see totality or a deep partial? Eclipse 2027 solves the August 2, 2027 eclipse for your exact spot — offline, to the second — and counts down to the moment.

Will you see six minutes of totality, or only a deep partial? For the exact patch of Earth you are standing on, Eclipse 2027 answers that one question — in your own wall clock, fully offline, forever.

On 2 August 2027 the Moon's shadow reaches the Strait of Gibraltar in mid-morning, then crosses Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya to Egypt — where near Luxor totality lasts a staggering 6 minutes 23 seconds, the longest on land until 2114 — before sweeping on to Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Somalia. Everyone in the path sees day turn to twilight; much of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East gets a deep partial. The app tells you exactly what will happen from your spot, and counts down to the instant.

The answer's shape carries the verdict before you read a word:

• Your exact coordinates, solved on-device. Not a nearest-city guess and not a coarse IP lookup — a real Besselian engine computes your own local circumstances for wherever you are standing, cross-checked in testing against a built-in table of 55 pre-verified cities.

• One clear verdict, three honest states. A pearl corona ring means you are in the path of totality; a gold crescent means a partial only; and if the eclipse can't be seen from where you are, the app says so plainly rather than pretending. Legible in a second, by shape and words — never colour alone.

• A countdown that earns the live clock. Far out it reads a calm number of days; on the day it re-targets through each contact and ticks to the second through totality itself.

• Your exact local contact times. C1 (partial begins), C2 (totality begins), maximum, C3 (totality ends) and C4 (partial ends), each in your location's own local time, with its UTC offset shown so you can see why.

• The numbers that matter. Eclipse magnitude, obscuration, the Sun's altitude at maximum, and — if you are in the path — how long totality lasts.

Built for accuracy: Contact times, magnitudes and obscurations are computed from the official NASA/GSFC Besselian elements for this eclipse (predictions by Fred Espenak) and cross-checked against independent sources; they agree to within a few seconds. All instants are in Universal Time (the greatest eclipse is 10:06:38 UT near Luxor). The app does no guessing at runtime — it converts fixed, verified instants into your local time.

Your eyes come first: The eye-safety facts ride right alongside the verdict and are never softened. Never look at the partially eclipsed Sun without certified solar-viewing filters that meet the ISO 12312-2 standard. Ordinary sunglasses are not safe. Only during totality, and only if you are inside the path of totality, is it safe to look with the naked eye — from C2 until C3. The moment the Sun's bright edge returns at C3, protection goes back on.

Honest and private: One-time purchase. No subscription, no ads, no in-app purchases, and no tracking. Works fully offline — there are no network requests of any kind, so it is alive in a desert dead zone at T-minus-90 seconds when a web page is a dead tab. Everything runs on your device.

Whether you are travelling to Luxor, southern Spain, Jeddah or Mecca to stand in the Moon's shadow, or watching the partial eclipse from home, Eclipse 2027 makes sure you know exactly when to look — and when to look away.
