What you'll see in Valletta
Artist's impression. The size of the bite is the 97.3% published for Valletta, the side the Moon crosses from is its real position angle at maximum, and the Sun's height above the rooftops is its real altitude. The skyline itself is generic.
Valletta sees 97.3% coverage, with the path of totality passing just south of Malta.
Keep eclipse glasses on for the whole event — the Moon never fully covers the Sun here, so it is never safe to look without them, even at maximum.
⚠ Eye safety
Use ISO 12312-2 certified eclipse glasses for the entire partial phase. There is no safe moment to remove them in this city — the Sun is never fully covered.
