There are 5 eclipses in 2027: annular solar eclipse on 6 Feb, penumbral lunar eclipse on 20 Feb, penumbral lunar eclipse on 18 Jul, total solar eclipse on 2 Aug and penumbral lunar eclipse on 17 Aug. Solar eclipses fall at a new Moon and lunar eclipses at a full Moon, always near the lunar nodes — Rahu and Ketu in Vedic astrology.

Magnitude is the fraction of the Sun’s diameter covered (solar) or of the Moon’s diameter inside the Earth’s shadow — the umbra, or for a penumbral eclipse the penumbra (lunar). A lunar eclipse is visible wherever the Moon is above the horizon at the time; a solar eclipse only along its track.
