A new Solar eclipse totality map is out just days before the total solar eclipse.
This is bad news for some New Yorkers. Plus, we have updated eclipse times.
New Solar Eclipse Totality Map Released
Besselian Elements and their eclipse expert, John Erwin, released a new total solar eclipse map. It’s based on more accurate calculations of the sun’s radius.
“This path incorporates adjustments that account for the topographic elevation, both around the limb of the Moon and on the surface of the Earth. It therefore provides a reliable guide for intrepid observers who may wish to venture close to the path limits and witness prolonged, and potentially profound, edge effects around the time of maximum eclipse,” Erwin states.
