2027年8月2日、ヨーロッパ、北アフリカ、中東のいくつかの国で、とても長い皆既日食（かいきにっしょく）が見られます。
On August 2, 2027, a very long total solar eclipse may be observed in some European countries, North Africa, and the Middle East.
。
This total solar eclipse will last as long as 6 minutes and 23 seconds, making it one of the longest events of the 21st century.
。
During a total solar eclipse, it becomes very dark even during the day because the sun is hidden by the moon.
。
Sometimes, you may see a ring of light around the sun that you normally cant observe.
。
The reason this solar eclipse will last so long is because the moon is very close to the Earth, making the sun appear slightly smaller.
。
Since the moon appears larger, it can block the sun for a longer period of time.
。
Furthermore, since the moons shadow passes near the equator, the movement of the shadow slows down, making the duration of the total solar eclipse longer.
。
Countries where the total solar eclipse can be observed include Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, Egypt, southern Spain, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates.
。
In particular, in Luxor, Egypt, the total solar eclipse will last as long as 6 minutes and 23 seconds, making it an extremely ideal location for observation.
。
You can take off your eclipse glasses only when the sun is completely hidden during a total solar eclipse.
。
However, as soon as the sun appears again, please put on your sunglasses.
。
In regions where only a partial solar eclipse can be observed, you must always use special glasses.
。
For safety, please use special eclipse glasses or equipment designed for solar observation.
。
It is extremely dangerous to look directly at the sun with a smartphone or a telescope.
。
This total solar eclipse is a rare event where daytime becomes like night, and at the same time, it is also an important opportunity for scientists.
