Looking at the Sun without protection damages the eye, eclipsed or not. Use eclipse glasses or a solar filter made for the purpose (ISO 12312-2) whenever any part of the Sun is showing; sunglasses are not enough. Inside the path, the glasses come off only while the Sun is completely covered, and go back on at the first flash of sunlight.
With the app
This page tells you when to look. The app tells you again when it matters, and shows you where in your own sky.
Total along a path across East Asia, the Sea of Japan, Japan and the Pacific; partial over Siberia, East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia and Japan.
The Moon’s shadow first touches the Earth at 23:15 UTC and leaves it at 04:35 UTC. The eclipse is at its greatest at 01:55 UTC, over the Pacific. When you see it depends on where you are: each city’s page gives its own times.
At most 2 min 57 s, on the middle of the path over the Pacific, where the path is about 118 km wide. It is shorter towards the edges of the path and towards its two ends.
Of the cities this site covers: Pyongyang (1 min 49 s), Beijing (1 min 35 s), Tangshan (47 s).
Only through eclipse glasses or a solar filter made for the purpose, at every moment that any of the Sun is showing. The one exception is totality itself, inside the path, when the Sun is completely covered.
