cartographer

Eclipse cartographer Michael Zeiler told USA Today that the moon phase would be no more than 5 to 6 hours old at sunset, making it impossible to see the crescent that evening.

Medical diagnostics expert, doctor's assistant, and cartographer are all fair titles for an artificial intelligence model developed by researchers at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology.

Texas is also expected to be an epicenter for the event and, with its range of scenery, festivals and other activities in places like Burnet, Sulphur Springs and Lampasas, could draw up to 700,000 visitors, according to the eclipse cartographer Michael Zeiler, who has been keeping track of visitation probability in various areas.

“A lot of the images seem quite fantastic. It would be easy to imagine the cartographer invented them on the spot,” says Chet Van Duzer, cartographic historian and author of Sea Monsters on Medieval and Renaissance Maps.

Texas, Arkansas and portions of southeastern Oklahoma will be prime destinations because the weather in those states is likely to be clear, said Michael Zeiler, a solar eclipse cartographer at GreatAmericanEclipse.com, a website that provides information about solar eclipses around the world.
