2027 Annular Eclipse Map: NASA Path & Best Planning Bases
The orange band is no longer an editorial approximation: it is derived from NASA/GSFC WGS84 path limits published at 120-second intervals. We layer our travel bases on top to turn eclipse geometry into a real accommodation and mobility decision.

The path is astronomical data: north/south limits and the central line are converted directly from the NASA/GSFC WGS84 path table. Published points are spaced at 120-second intervals, which NASA states is adequate for larger-scale plots.
