Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 1,106 km north-east of Gimbi.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Aslam, about 1,117 km north-east, where totality lasts 1 m 47 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.
