Summary
Saïda saw the Moon take a bite out of the Sun. Greatest coverage happened at 18:39 UTC. At that moment 93%% of the Sun's disc was covered. The Sun sat low — 1.4° — so an open, clear horizon mattered. It was part of Saros series 126, which repeats every 18 years and 11 days. It was a striking demonstration of how precisely the Moon and Sun line up from Earth.
