course

The solar eclipse begins at sunrise in the Bay of Biscay . The ring-shaped zone reaches the mainland for the first time on the west coast of France and then stretches mainly over southern France to the Mediterranean . This also is Andorra and the northwestern part of Spain crossed. The ring-shaped zone then covers the south of Corsica , as well as the Italian islands of Sardinia and Sicily and the extreme southern tip of the Italian mainland. Malta is just outside the toroidal shape. The north-west of Libya lies within the ring-shaped zone, as does Egypt , there in particular Lake Nasser (Aswan reservoir). The zone of annularity then crosses western Sudan , Eritrea , Djibouti and Somalia . The southernmost islands of the Maldives are crossed on the way across the Indian Ocean . At sunset the Indonesian island of Sumatra is reached, where the solar eclipse ends.

For this eclipse there are hardly any differences in the calculation of the concrete course of the zone , despite different assumptions of the Delta T (NASA: 113.2s, Calsky: 73.2s).
