Most Solar Eclipse Tracking Maps Are Wrong: Here's How To Actually Track Its Path
SMRTR summary
Traditional solar eclipse maps incorrectly calculate the sun's radius, causing totality paths to be off by about 2,000 feet—enough to ruin viewing experiences. The Besselian Elements Team has developed more accurate maps through rigorous field testing and 3D computational methods that account for Earth's terrain variations.
