2024 Solar Eclipse: Updated Path and Phenomena to Watch Out For
A new map for the path of totality for the Total Solar Eclipse has been released, showing a narrower path, but Rochester and most surrounding communities will not be significantly affected. James Bader, director of the Strasenburgh Planetarium, advises those on the edge of the path to consider heading further north for a longer view of totality, particularly in some towns in Steuben, Seneca, and Yates counties. Residents in specific areas may need to head north to witness the totality longer, and a revised map is available for those on the edge of totality to check.
