TL;DR Summary

New research suggests that the 2024 solar eclipse map may be slightly inaccurate, affecting the path of totality by about a mile. NASA maintains that its predictions have not changed, but experts advise those on the edge of the path to move closer to the center to ensure a longer viewing of the total eclipse. The updated map, created by Besselian Elements, takes into account the exact topography of the moon and Earth, but its accuracy has yet to be peer-reviewed. Residents in Kentucky may need to adjust their viewing plans to ensure a better chance of experiencing the totality.
