"Updated Solar Eclipse Totality Map: Check If Your Viewing Spot Is Affected"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Democrat & Chronicle
An updated map of the path of totality for the April 8 total solar eclipse has been released, affecting viewers in New York. Some areas previously on the edge of totality, such as Arkport, Dresden, Limestone, the southern half of Penn Yann, and Fayetteville, may not experience the full effect of the eclipse. However, places like Brockport remain directly in the path of totality, with totality lasting for 3 minutes and 43 seconds. NASA predicts the eclipse to be between 108 and 122 miles wide, covering a wide swath of the United States from Texas through Vermont. Ideal locations for viewing the eclipse in Rochester include open parks or waterfront areas with unobstructed views of the sky, and the Rochester Museum and Science Center is hosting a Roc the Eclipse Festival.
