What you will see

Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 1,993 km south-west of Semnan.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is King Abdullah City, about 2,009 km south-west, where totality lasts 3 m 02 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.
