The following maps show the overall regions of visibility of the partial eclipse as well as the path of the total eclipse through Africa and Australia. They use high resolution coastline data from the World Data Base II (WDB). Each map was chosen to isolate a specific region along the land portion of the eclipse path. Curves of maximum eclipse and constant eclipse magnitude are included as well as the outline of the umbral shadow. City data from a geographic data base of over 90,000 positions are plotted to give as many locations as possible in the path of totality.
Each map is available in two resolutions: 'Low' (web resolution) and 'High' (300 dpi print resolution). You may need to set your printer to 25% reduction in order to print 'High' resolution figures on a single page.
