SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) -- As we close in on two weeks until eclipse day, many people are wondering if they will have to travel to see the total eclipse of the sun or if they will be in the path of totality.
It can be confusing since the line of all-or-nothing cuts right through Central New York.
Now, there's an interactive map that shows where the totality is. Just hover over the spot that interests you, and you will see when the eclipse begins and ends and how long (if at all) that geographic point will see the total eclipse of the sun.
Don't want to hover over the map? Enter your town in the search box in the upper left corner.
While some areas in New York may be near the path of totality, some aspects of the eclipse can only be seen if the sun is completely blocked by the moon.
You may also want to consider the longest time of the total eclipse. For instance the length of the total eclipse of the sun is around a minute. It's close to 3 1/2 minutes around Oswego and upwards of three minutes and 45 seconds near Buffalo.
