I remember looking up this eclipse early this year when I first heard
about it, and thinking how remote was the area of maximum duration of
totality. And I suppose it wouldn't be exactly safe, at least not for
Americans, as it crosses over from Niger into Libya.
One of the best places to watch will be occupied by only a few
people at the time: the ISS will be over the Mediterranean, so they
will be able to see the moon's shadow move across the earth.
Here's a picture of an eclipse from space:

It looks like what it is: a shadow of one round thing on another.
