"New York's View of Eclipse Threatened by Shift in Path"

A new path of totality map for the upcoming solar eclipse on April 8 has been released, excluding some towns in New York from experiencing the full total solar eclipse due to more accurate calculations of the sun's radius. While the Lower Hudson Valley will only see a partial solar eclipse, cities like Buffalo and Rochester will still witness the total eclipse. Towns like Rome, Utica, and Ithaca will miss out on the complete darkening of the sun and the stunning corona. Gov. Kathy Hochul suggests arriving at upstate viewing locations early to beat expected heavy traffic, and those in the Hudson Valley should be at their viewing spots by 2 p.m. to catch the eclipse.
