Egyptian eclipse, 1905

I actually think the year is wrong? I found this image of the August 30, 1905 eclipse path which would have been seen over Egypt. There was an eclipse on August 20, 1906 but no where near Egypt.

The picture isn’t super high quality, but that might as well be a 5 instead of a 6, so you’re probably right

Oh boy I just turned into one of those "well actually" guys. I wasn't trying to prove anything wrong. It got me interested in the 1906 eclipse and when I started looking into it things didn't quite line up. This post spurred my curiosity!

You might be right; the '6' written on the photo could well be a '5'. I'll change the title.

Definitely a 5, the top part looks angled like a 5. 👍🎯

If I look at this picture do I need those special glasses so I don't go blind ?

That guy might have enjoyed the best view of the eclipse in history. Just him and his camel buddy. That's incredible.
