Eclipse Predictions by Fred Espenak, NASA's GSFC Collected from: https://web.archive.org/web/20080226050949/http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/LEcat/LEcatalog.html Key: https://web.archive.org/web/20070314015601/http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/LEcat/LEcatkey.html Column Heading Definition/Description 1 Date Calendar Date (Gregorian) at instant of Greatest Eclipse. 2 Greatest Universal Time (UT) of Greatest Eclipse, which is Eclipse defined as the instant when Moon passes closest to the axis of Earth's shadows. 3 Type Type of lunar eclipse where: N = Penumbral Eclipse. P = Partial (Umbral) Eclipse. T = Total (Umbral) Eclipse. (Tc = central total eclipse) If the Type ends with: "m" = Middle eclipse of Saros series. "+" = Central eclipse (Moon north of axis). "-" = Central eclipse (Moon south of axis). "b" = Saros series begins (first eclipse in series). "e" = Saros series ends (last eclipse in series). 4 Saros Saros series of eclipse. (Each eclipse in a Saros is separated by an interval of 18 years 11.3 days.) 5 Gamma Distance of the Moon from the axis of Earth's shadow cone (units of equatorial radii) at the instant of greatest eclipse. 6 Pen. Penumbral eclipse magnitude is the fraction of Mag. the Moon's diameter obscured by the penumbra. 7 Umb. Umbral eclipse magnitude is the fraction of Mag. the Moon's diameter obscured by the umbra. 8 S.D. Semi-duration of partial (umbral) eclipse (minutes). Par 9 S.D. Semi-duration of total (umbral) eclipse (minutes). Tot 10 GST0 Greenwich Sidereal Time at 00:00 U.T.. 11 Moon Geocentric Right Ascension of the Moon RA at greatest eclipse (hours). 12 Moon Geocentric Declination of the Moon Dec at greatest eclipse (degrees).
