Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 981 km north-east of Rabak.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Hala'ib, about 1,087 km north, where totality lasts 5 m 19 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.
