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 58° above the horizon in the south-west (azimuth 210°). The Sun is high, so most outdoor spots with a clear view upwards will work.

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.
