Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 1,883 km north-east of Juja.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Jawf al Maqbābah, about 1,925 km north-east, where totality lasts 1 m 41 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.
