Seeing totality
The nearest edge of the path of totality is about 1,558 km south-west of Sanandaj.
The nearest place on this site with at least a minute of totality is Al Quşayr, about 1,587 km south-west, where totality lasts 2 m 19 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.
