Note: The animation follows the eclipse shadow from west to east, its point of view moving around the
planet at a greater speed than Earth's rotation. If you don't take into account this rapid change of
perspective, it may look like Earth is spinning in the wrong direction.
From here, the Moon's central shadow moved inland. The following table shows when the Moon started to move in
front of the Sun and the moment it completely covers the Sun, as seen from some locations along the central path of
the eclipse. All times are local.
