The difference between 99 percent and 100 percent is everything. On August 2, 2027, the moon's shadow crosses from the Atlantic over southern Spain, North Africa, and Egypt - six minutes and twenty-two seconds of darkness in the middle of the day over Luxor, the longest total eclipse over accessible land until the year 2114.
