"2024 Solar Eclipse: Path Shift Impacts Viewing Spots Across the U.S."

A new map shows a narrower path of totality for the April 8 solar eclipse, potentially impacting some cities, but Luna Pier in Michigan remains in the path for a total eclipse. The mayor encourages visitors to head to Toledo instead due to potential traffic congestion. Experts suggest that eclipse chasers should not make significant changes to their travel plans, but those on the edge of the path may want to consider moving a few miles south for a better view. It is advised to prepare as normal, pick a viewing spot ahead of time, and pack special eclipse glasses and camera lens filters.
