Overview

• UNAM and other research institutions have publicly dismissed the six-day global darkness claim as scientifically impossible, stressing solar eclipses last only minutes and lunar eclipses at most a few hours.
• The total lunar eclipse on September 7, 2025, will span 5 hours 27 minutes from penumbral start to end with 1 hour 22 minutes of totality and will coincide with lunar perigee.
• NASA confirms the August 2, 2027, total solar eclipse will deliver about 6 minutes 22 seconds of totality along a roughly 258-kilometer-wide path across Spain, North Africa, the Middle East and the Horn of Africa.
• Observers are advised to use ISO 12312-2 certified eclipse glasses or proper solar filters for cameras and telescopes and to avoid makeshift filters or direct solar viewing.
• Those outside the direct visibility zones can follow live coverage from agencies and astronomy platforms such as NASA, Time and Date and Slooh in real time.
