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.

Hometowns like Rome, Utica, Ithaca, Penn Yan, Dresden and Romulus will no longer experience the full effect of the total solar eclipse, according to Forbes and the New York Post.

The reason for the wrong eclipse maps is because scientists don’t fully know the sun’s diameter. The new map corrects that.
