The total solar eclipse of August 2, 2027

On August 2, 2027, the Moon passes in front of the Sun: a total solar eclipse.

Why it matters

A total solar eclipse is the rarest common sky event there is: the Moon fully covers the Sun's disc along a narrow path across the Earth, turning day briefly to twilight. Never look at the Sun directly without proper solar filters.
