Where it can be seen

The Sun is completely covered only inside a narrow path, a few hundred kilometres wide at most. A much wider area on either side of it sees a partial eclipse, and the rest of the world sees nothing.

Where the path runs

Inside the shaded band the Moon covers the Sun completely. Outside it the eclipse is partial, and the further you are from the band, the less of the Sun is covered.

The band's edges come from the same calculation as the city table, so the map and the table agree. They are accurate to a few kilometres, which is not enough to decide whether a house right on the edge is inside the path.

Protect your eyes

Never look at the Sun without certified eclipse glasses or a solar filter, including during a partial or annular eclipse. Only the brief total phase of a total eclipse, when the Sun is completely covered, is safe to watch unprotected. An annular eclipse is never safe to watch without protection.
