Will the 2027 eclipse be total in Qaşr Bin Ghashīr?
No. Qaşr Bin Ghashīr is outside the path and sees a partial eclipse of about 99.6% at maximum. The nearest edge of the band is roughly 25 km away.
What time is the eclipse in Qaşr Bin Ghashīr?
Maximum eclipse is at 11:16:53 local time (Africa/Tripoli). The partial phase begins at 09:59:40 and ends at 12:38:35.
Will terrain block the view?
Almost certainly not. The Sun is 59.8° above the horizon here at maximum, so an obstruction would have to be extraordinarily close and tall. That was the decisive question for the 2026 eclipse, when the Sun was nearly setting, and it will be again for the January 2028 annular eclipse.
