Sunset is at 19:48, with the Sun still 1.6% covered. Everything after that happens below your horizon.02 · TIMING

03 · DIRECTION
Where do I look?
At maximum the Sun is just 0° above the horizon to the west. You will need a clear, flat horizon — over water, or from high ground.

THE EXPERIENCE
What it will actually be like
Only 1.6% of the Sun is covered, so nothing about the daylight in Portland will change. Through a safe solar filter the Moon shows as a shallow notch on one edge of the disc.
SAFETY
Looking at it without hurting yourself
A certified solar filter stays on for the whole eclipse. The Sun is never completely covered here, and what remains is as dangerous to look at as an uneclipsed Sun. Sunglasses are not a filter.
Sunglasses, smoked glass, exposed film and phone screens are not filters. If you can see anything else through it, it is not dark enough.
04 · POSITION
Should I travel?
The path passes 4,981 km to the south-west of Portland and is 63 km wide. Only inside it is the Sun covered completely.
