How the Moon covers the Sun
What you will notice
When the Moon covers the whole Sun, it becomes as dark as dusk in the middle of the day. The brightest planets and stars appear, the Sun's corona shines around the black Moon and the temperature drops by several degrees. Just before and after you can see the "diamond ring".
Where the Sun is
At maximum the Sun is 42° above the horizon in the east (azimuth 98°). The Sun is high, so most outdoor spots with a clear view upwards will work.
Compared with totality
Closer to the centre of the path, totality lasts longer: in Assi Bou Nif, 136 km to the north-east, it lasts 5 min 8 s – 1 min 21 s longer than here.

Safety
- Never look directly at the Sun without certified eclipse glasses that meet the ISO 12312-2 standard. Ordinary sunglasses do not protect your eyes, not even several pairs on top of each other.
- Only during totality itself, when the Sun is completely covered, is it safe to take the glasses off. Put them back on as soon as the first point of light appears.
How we calculated this
The times are calculated for the place's coordinates and elevation (GeoNames) with Skyfield and the JPL ephemeris DE421 – the same program that makes the paid guide. The calculation is checked against NASA eclipse data (Fred Espenak, NASA GSFC). The times assume a clear sky; nobody can forecast the weather this far ahead.
