Not visible from Cali. At that instant the Sun is about 14° below the horizon here, so it has already set or has not yet risen. Totality crosses Morocco, Spain, Algeria, Libya, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and Somalia, lasting up to 6m23s near Luxor; the rest of Africa, Europe, the Middle East and western and southern Asia see a partial eclipse. The chart beside this is the real night sky over Cali at the same moment.

The Moon was below the horizon over Cali at that moment — a new moon, 0% lit — so it leaves the sky to the stars, and the poster shows it the way the night really was.

Brightest named stars up at that moment: Sirius, Canopus, Capella, Rigel, Achernar, Betelgeuse. Every star is a real one from the HYG catalogue, placed with the exact latitude (3.43°) and longitude (-76.52°) of Cali. North is up and east is on the left, as when you look up.
