Experts Warn Edge of Solar Eclipse’s Path of Totality May Shift

Some researchers and NASA scientists warned that the solar eclipse path of totality Monday may be subject to a slight change. The reason why, they explained, is due to calculations about the size of the sun. Researcher John Irwin has recently published a new map that included the updated path for the eclipse, reported Forbes, drawing reactions from several NASA scientists. “By accounting for the topography of both the moon and the Earth, precise eclipse prediction has brought new attention to a tiny but real uncertainty about the size of the Sun,” NASA Heliophysics scientist Abbey Interrante told the Nexstar news agency over the weekend....
