Eclipse elements and path: Eclipse Predictions by Fred Espenak, NASA's GSFC (Besselian elements · path table). Times for each city are our calculation from these elements at the city centre; they match the NASA table’s duration of totality to under a second. Times can differ by a minute or more within a city, and the lunar limb profile is not included. The longest totality on Earth is about 6:23 minutes, in Egypt.
