What you'll see in Benghazi
Artist's impression. The Sun's height above the rooftops is its real altitude from Benghazi; the skyline itself is generic.
Benghazi gets 6m11s of totality — past six minutes, with the Sun 68° high. From here east the eclipse only gets longer.
The Sun is high in the sky here, so unlike a low-horizon eclipse you do not need a distant, unobstructed skyline — but a courtyard or a narrow street can still put a rooftop in the way. Step somewhere with open sky overhead.
⚠ Eye safety
Use ISO 12312-2 certified eclipse glasses for the entire partial phase. The ONLY exception is 11:27:58–11:34:09 UTC+2, when the Sun is fully covered from Benghazi.
