Mazatlán (Mexico), Cleveland (United States) and Montreal (Canada) are some of the cities in which the Sun will be completely hidden behind the Moon. The phenomenon will last 310 minutes (a little more than 5 hours) and will be visible in a strip of about 200 kilometers wide.

This event had not been seen in the country since July 1991, 32 years ago. Not all parts of the country will see it equally. In Mexico City, the lunar shadow will cover the Sun by 74%, in the port of Veracruz 65% and in the capital of Oaxaca, 61%.
