Overview
- NASA and the USNO confirm the path of totality crossing Spain, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Yemen after entering from the Atlantic near the Strait of Gibraltar.
- Maximum darkness occurs near Luxor, Egypt, lasting 6 minutes 23 seconds and projected to be the longest total solar eclipse until 2114, according to Space.com.
- In Spain, totality reaches Cádiz for about 2 minutes 55 seconds and Málaga for about 1 minute 53 seconds, with the eclipse beginning around 10:50 a.m. local peninsular time.
- Mexico lies outside the track and will not see even a significant partial view because the event happens before sunrise there; viewers should plan to travel or follow official livestreams.
- NASA stresses safe viewing with ISO 12312-2–certified solar filters and warns never to look directly at the Sun.
