"2024 Solar Eclipse Path Shift: Impact on US Towns and Viewing Locations"

A new map of the solar eclipse's path of totality shows a shift of roughly 2,000 feet, potentially leaving some areas outside the immediate path. The adjustment accounts for topographic elevation around the moon's limb and on Earth's surface, leading to a tiny uncertainty about the size of the sun. While NASA isn't altering its predictions, it suggests that those on the edges of the path might want to travel closer to the center for a guaranteed view, as the change could affect cities on the very edge of the path.
