Happy April Fool's day...
There's an April Fools' Day prank about the 2024 solar eclipse — don't fall for it

And says something to this effect:
...failing to account for the time it takes light to travel from the sun, a laser-based model led by the U.S. National Observatory’s Measurement Alignment and Astronomy Ministration [NO-MA'AM], has been shown to be off by seven days and 1,843 miles." And that means "it’s coming at us, like, now,” Sarah Phillips, part of UVM's Class of 2025, said in the statement.
... astronomy humor...
