|
|
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.
