Hi there,
I've watched this video: . I have been curious the whole day why the eclipse path seems to be curved and obviously in our latitude. Is it because of both the moon's orbital plane and the tilt of the Earth's axis? If it went across the US, that is a lot more than 5 degrees (moon incline) so I was just wondering about the geometry. I've done some research and that video was the best I found.
