On Monday 2 August 2027, the eclipse is partial in Aden (Yemen). The Moon starts to cover the Sun at 12:28 PM, hides 96.1% of its surface at 1:51:13 PM and leaves it at 3:05 PM. All times are local time (UTC+3). At maximum the Sun stands 64° above the horizon, to the west.
A partial eclipse never gets dark, even a deep one: one percent of the Sun is still thousands of times brighter than the full Moon. The corona, the stars and the 360° twilight only appear inside the path of totality. From Aden, the nearest city on our list inside the path is Sanaa, 301 km away, where totality lasts 2 min 25 s.
Eclipse glasses stay on from the first second to the last: at no moment in Aden is it safe to look at the Sun with bare eyes.
