"2024 Solar Eclipse Path Shift: Implications for April 8"

New research suggests that the 2024 solar eclipse path may have changed slightly, affecting some Indiana cities like Kokomo, Frankfort, and parts of Crawfordsville. The updated map, created by Besselian Elements, factors in new information about the Sun's size and topography to create a more accurate eclipse map. NASA states that the change will mainly impact cities on the edge of the path of totality, urging people to move closer to the center for a guaranteed view of the total eclipse. The solar eclipse's partial phase will begin at approximately 1:50 p.m. ET on April 8 in Indianapolis.
