Two times on August 2
Eclipses in 2027 include five catalog dates, and the August 2 total eclipse is the one with two instants on NASA's path table. Greatest eclipse and greatest duration are separate moments. The catalog minute stays 10:07 UT, and the longest central-line duration on the path table is 10:00:21 UT. The other four eclipses, and the country lists, stay on the 2027 horoscope.
| Instant on the path table | Time (UT) | Central duration | Place on that row |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greatest eclipse | 10:06:37.7 | 06m22.6s | 25°30.3'N, 033°11.0'E |
| Greatest duration | 10:00:21 | 06m23.2s | 26°49'N, 031°08'E |
What is the 10:07 UT figure?
10:07 UT is the greatest-eclipse minute in the 2027 catalog. NASA's Eclipses During 2027 page lists "Central Duration: 06m23s" on the August 2 block, beside that minute. The same block prints a path width of 258 km and a greatest eclipse point of 25.5N, 33.2E. That row is the catalog's greatest eclipse. The path table's longest central duration is another row, at another time.

The same row gives 26°49'N, 031°08'E, and a path width of 257.2 km.
