Abidjan is 3 km from the edge of the path of annularity. Depending on your exact spot you will see 0 to 1 min 32 secs of ring, or only a partial eclipse.
| Phase | Sun altitude | |
|---|---|---|
| Begins | 16:39:52 UTC | 25° |
| Ring begins | 17:52:01 UTC | 8° |
| Maximum | 17:52:32 UTC | 8° |
| Ring ends | 17:53:05 UTC | 7° |
| Ends | 18:56:34 UTC | -8°below the horizon |
Near the edge, a few hundred metres change the duration a lot. If you can, move towards the centre line: it is 174 km away.
The Sun will set before the eclipse ends: phases marked “below the horizon” will not be visible.
Shown with the zenith at the top, as you will see it in the sky. Sizes and positions are computed; brightness is illustrative.
The Sun will be very low: 8° above the horizon, to the west. Find a spot with a clear horizon in that direction, such as a beach.

No, never. Even during the ring of fire about 14 % of the Sun stays visible, enough to damage your eyes. Use glasses certified to ISO 12312-2 or a pinhole projector. Ordinary sunglasses do not protect you.
