If you're standing in one place in the path of totality as it passes over, the longest
possible duration is 7minutes 35seconds. Historically, roughly 9 out of 10 last less
than 7 minutes.
If you move to follow the spot of totality, then the time that you stay in it is extended.
Scientists have used aircraft to follow the tip of shadow, stretching totality to 20 minutes
and more. But the speed of the shadow across the earth's surface is generally so high
that it's not possible to keep pace with it, and experience the full several-hours duration
of totality.
