Where will the 2023 solar eclipse last the longest?

The 2023 ring of fire eclipse will last longest in Costa Rica and Nicaragua, but in the US, the eclipse will last the longest in Texas—for 5 minutes. Every state in the path of annularity will see the ring of fire for at least 4 minutes and 30 seconds, including locations along the centerline in Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas. The center line is the direct center of the path of annularity, and this is where the ring of fire will last the longest. The farther away from the center line, the shorter it will last, so be sure to choose a location as close to the centerline as possible for maximum eclipse viewing.
