Summary

The Total Solar Eclipse Map to Rule All Social Eclipse Maps is a tool created by Senior Cartographer Mamata Akella, providing a selection of cities within the shadow's path of totality. The map shows city sizes based on their time in totality and colors its distance from the centerline of the eclipse path. While getting close to the centerline offers the best chance for totality, other eclipse phenomena can be seen further away from it. Cities like Carbondale Illinois and Hopkinsville Kentucky offer exceptional durations, while those closer to the edge, such as Hebron Lincoln and Mullen in Nebraska, provide an opportunity to experience other celestial events during the eclipse. The map also offers a bonus feature for viewers not interested in gridlock traffic, showing % obscuration for major cities across the US and indicating safe times to view the sun with compliant glasses.
