Path of the 2024 April 8th Total Solar Eclipse

Path of the 2024 April 8th Total Solar Eclipse - by John Irwin

The position of the umbral shadow path across North America has been accurately determined by our team member John Irwin. Most notably, this path incorporates adjustments that account for the topographic elevation, both around the limb of the Moon and on the surface of the Earth. It therefore provides a reliable guide for intrepid observers who may wish to venture close to the path limits and witness prolonged, and potentially profound, edge effects around the time of maximum eclipse (weather-permitting).

In the map below, the yellow line indicates the eclipse centreline. The orange lines depict the true limb eclipse limits. For each limit, there are three orange lines: the central one is the most likely limit and the lines around it give an idea on error bars. The red lines are the traditional smooth limits. 

True totality will be observed between the northern and southern limits indicated by the orange lines.
