Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 835 km south-west of Édessa.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Massah, about 896 km south, where totality lasts 1 m 06 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.
