How the Moon covers the Sun
What you will notice
The Sun looks as if someone has taken a bite out of it. Without eclipse glasses you will hardly notice – daylight looks almost normal.
Where the Sun is
At maximum the Sun is 50° above the horizon in the west (azimuth 267°). The Sun is high, so most outdoor spots with a clear view upwards will work.
Compared with totality
The nearest place with a total eclipse is Khubāsh (Saudi Arabia), 1,992 km to the south-west. There the whole Sun is covered for 3 min 42 s, from 13:40 local time.
The nearest point in the path of totality is 1,881 km to the south-west of Pīshīn.

To experience a total eclipse you need to travel into the path. Here are three destinations counted from Pīshīn:
| Destination | Distance | Totality | Sun's altitude |

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.
- The eclipse is partial here. It is never safe to look at the Sun without protection – not even when almost all of it is covered.
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.
