"Delaware's View of the Updated Eclipse Path of Totality"

The path of totality for the total solar eclipse on April 8 has been updated based on new calculations, resulting in a narrower path than previously reported. Delaware remains outside of the main eclipse path and will only experience a partial eclipse. The updated path of totality runs from Mexico to the United States to Canada, with areas near it experiencing a partial eclipse. The new map uses updated figures for the sun's radius to more accurately depict where totality will fall, resulting in some cities previously thought to be in the main path now being slightly outside of it.

"Revised Path of Totality Map for 2024 Solar Eclipse in Texas"

New calculations have slightly shifted the path of totality for the upcoming solar eclipse on April 8, with a new map showing that more parts of Texas, including McKinney Falls State Park in Austin and a wider area of San Antonio's metropolitan area, will now experience total darkness. However, residents of Denton may need to travel farther to be within the path of totality. The updated map, published by expert John Irwin, reflects the changes based on new data about the sun's size, and provides updated eclipse times, peak sun coverage, and likely levels of cloudiness during the event.
