BENGHAZI · 2027 SOLAR ECLIPSE
Solar Eclipse in Benghazi — 2 August 2027
The reference coordinate for Benghazi is calculated as total for the 2 August 2027 eclipse.
Benghazi is inside the broad central corridor in Libya and receives a long total phase. This page makes the city-centre geometry explicit without recommending unverified sites or access arrangements.
Move the SunPoint pin to test another exact position rather than extending one city-centre result across the whole area.
The tested coordinate is inside the path of totality.
Calculated time at the reference coordinate.
Calculated from C2 (11:27:43 GMT+2) to C3 (11:33:56 GMT+2).
Height and compass bearing at local maximum.

SunPoint supports Eclipse mode for the 2 August 2027 event. Drop a pin or use your location to check local eclipse direction, solar azimuth, altitude and the map direction line where the calculation layer supports it.
- Local eclipse type where supported
- Maximum phase direction
- Solar altitude and azimuth
- Horizon planning from your pin
Classification applies to the stated coordinate, not every point in the city or region.
Is the eclipse total in Benghazi?
Yes at the tested coordinate. The calculated total phase lasts approximately 6m 13s of totality.
Benghazi is inside the broad central corridor in Libya and receives a long total phase. This page makes the city-centre geometry explicit without recommending unverified sites or access arrangements.
Local time, altitude and direction
Calculated maximum is 11:30 GMT+2. The Sun is 67.8° high at an azimuth of 125.4°.
Azimuth is the compass bearing; altitude is the angle above the astronomical horizon. The real sightline still needs checking.
Check another exact point
Near a path edge, a small move can change totality duration. Put the pin where you actually expect to stand and compare the result.
Solar viewing safety
Use suitable eclipse glasses or a safe indirect method throughout every partial phase. Ordinary sunglasses and cloud are not eye protection.
Only observers confirmed inside complete totality may remove solar viewers during the brief fully total phase, and protection must be restored before any bright solar surface reappears.
Authoritative sources and safety
Use authoritative eclipse data before travel and use proper solar-viewing protection during partial phases.
Photography and horizon tips
- Save the exact coordinate.
- Inspect the horizon in the calculated bearing.
- Bring compliant solar-viewing protection.
