Summary
Benguela will see the Moon take a bite out of the Sun. Greatest coverage happens at 17:30 UTC. At that moment 33%% of the Sun's disc is covered. The Sun sits low — 0.9° — so an open, clear horizon matters. It is part of Saros series 131, which repeats every 18 years and 11 days. Clouds permitting, it should be worth stepping outside to watch.
