"Optimizing Your Solar Eclipse Viewing Experience with Interactive Maps and Simulators"

A retired mathematician, Dan McGlaun, has created a solar eclipse simulator that allows users to visualize the upcoming total solar eclipse on April 8 from various locations in the northern hemisphere. The simulator, based on centuries-old astronomical calculations and modern data, lets users choose from over 50 landscapes and witness the eclipse's progression. McGlaun's extensive planning and mathematical calculations have resulted in an accurate representation of the eclipse, despite minor variables like the sun's pulsation and the Earth's rotation. The simulator also educates users about eclipse phenomena and offers a livestream option for those unable to witness the event in person.
