Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 639 km north-east of Harar.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Mukayrās, about 644 km north-east, where totality lasts 1 m 09 s.
Totality is shortest at the edges of the path and longest along the centre line, so the further inside you go, the longer it lasts.
Eye safety guide: Never look at the Sun without certified eclipse glasses, except during totality.
