Where to look from your place
Choose a city to see what this looks like from there. With scripts off, the map's Tonight view works out the same for the place you set in it.
Who sees what
None of the cities the map knows lies in the narrow path of the central phase. A visitor in the path sees it at the greatest-eclipse time above; everyone in the wider band sees a partial eclipse.
Partial eclipse, the largest share of the Sun covered, from other cities: Cairo 95 percent, Ponta Delgada 87 percent, Madrid 86 percent, Rome 74 percent, Istanbul 59 percent, Dubai 53 percent, Paris 51 percent, London 42 percent.
Look safely
Never look at the Sun without eclipse glasses that meet the ISO 12312-2 standard, or a certified solar filter on a telescope or binoculars. That holds for an annular eclipse, which has no safe moment of totality, and for every partial phase of a total one.

Measured or computed? Dates of the showers and of the eclipses are computed with Astronomy Engine, the same library the map uses, and were read by a person on 9 October 2026. The Moon's percentage is computed. Rates are the IMO's and are not predictions of what you will count.
