- At greatest eclipse the Sun is 35° above the horizon, in the east.
- The whole eclipse, from first bite to last, lasts about 2 h 14 min.
- The nearest place on our list with totality is Jerez de la Frontera, Spain, about 350 km away in a straight line, with 1 min 32 s of totality.
Is it worth going out?
Yes, with eclipse glasses. With 92.4% covered you will notice the light change, but it stays daytime. If you can travel, totality is a completely different experience: Jerez de la Frontera is the closest place on our list.
Never look at the partly covered Sun without eclipse glasses that meet ISO 12312-2. In this city there is no totality, so you need them the whole time. How to tell if your glasses are safe.
