Three Lines – In each of the images there is a set of three lines showing the path of totality. Those within the outer two lines will see totality. However, those near the outer lines will only see totality for a brief moment. The line down the center is the centerline path, where totality will last the longest. Thus, if you’re within the three lines you’ll see totality, but to experience it with the longest duration, you’ll want to be on the center line.
