On Monday 2 August 2027, the eclipse is partial in Algiers (Algeria). The Moon starts to cover the Sun at 8:48 AM, hides 99.8% of its surface at 9:58:51 AM and leaves it at 11:15 AM. All times are local time (UTC+1). At maximum the Sun stands 47° above the horizon, to the east.
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 Algiers, the nearest city on our list inside the path is Mostaganem, 281 km away, where totality lasts 5 min 1 s.
Eclipse glasses stay on from the first second to the last: at no moment in Algiers is it safe to look at the Sun with bare eyes.
