Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 3,415 km south-west of Rānīganj.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is El Dibir, about 4,012 km west, where totality lasts 3 m 26 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.
