TL;DR Summary

NASA's predictions for the path of the upcoming total solar eclipse on April 8 have not changed, despite reports suggesting a slightly narrower path based on new calculations for the size of the sun. While some discrepancies exist, they are unlikely to significantly impact most viewers. The eclipse's path, which includes a small corner of Michigan, may see minor adjustments, but the overall impact is expected to be minimal. NASA aims to refine future eclipse predictions by considering the topography of both the moon and the Earth, as well as potential uncertainties in the size of the sun and Earth's rotation.
