Eclipse visible

What the contact points (C1-C4) mean

A solar eclipse is described by four key moments, the contact points between the discs of the Sun and the Moon:

C1First contact: the Moon touches the edge of the Sun and the partial eclipse begins.
C2Second contact: the Moon fully covers the Sun and totality begins.
C3Third contact: the Sun reappears and totality ends.
C4Fourth contact: the Moon leaves the Sun's disc and the eclipse ends.

Where the eclipse is only partial, the Moon never fully covers the Sun: only C1 and C4 occur, with no totality in between.

Score 100/ 100

Full totality visible

The Sun will be 37-41° high, so terrain almost never blocks it: what decides is being inside the path, not the viewpoint's horizon.
