NASA has not changed its predictions, but the space agency advises that there is some uncertainty involved in mapping the eclipse's path.
If you're planning to see the epic total solar eclipse that will dance across the skies of North America on Monday, you should aim to travel as close to the center of the celestial spectacle's path as possible.
"Calculations that use a slightly larger radius for the size of the Sun yield an eclipse path that is slightly narrower," said NASA spokesperson Karen Fox in an emailed statement. "This difference would only affect cities on the very edge of the path of totality, where blanket predictions are difficult regardless - a few city blocks one way or the other could mean 20, 10, or 0 seconds of totality.
The research hasn't been thoroughly reviewed by scientists, Guinan said. And even if the NASA map is wrong, Irwin's calculations indicate it's only off by a couple thousand feet on the edges.But few things in science are ever certain. And NASA also acknowledges that exact measurements of the eclipse path are difficult to pin down.
