Column | details |
jul.dat | julian day number, with decimals, in Universal Time. |
dT | adopted value for DeltaT (seconds) |
year | calendar year (astronomical notation) |
m | calendar month |
d | calendar day |
max(UT) | time of maximum eclipse on Earth (universal time) |
hem |
gives an indication on the hemisphere where the eclipse was seen N = the axis of the Moon's shadow passes north of the Earth's centre S = the axis of the Moon's shadow passes south of the Earth's centre |
type of eclipse | type of solar eclipse at maximum. The following types are indicated: central total: At some moment and viewed from some place on Earth the centres of the Sun and the Moon coincided and the Sun was completely obscured by the Moon. central annular: At some moment and viewed from some place on Earth the centres of the Sun and the Moon coincided but the Sun was not completely obscured by the Moon, leaving a brilliant 'ring' around the dark moondisk. central total-annular: At some moment and viewed from some place on Earth the centres of the Sun and the Moon coincided but due to the varying distances between the Earth, the Moon and the Sun, the eclipse was, at maximum, at some times total and at others annular. non central eclipse (total or annular): At no instant did the line joining the centres of the Sun and the Moon coincided with a place on Earth, although the Sun was, at some places on Earth, either completely obscured by the Moon (total eclipse) or the Moon transited fully before the Sun but leaving a brilliant 'ring' around the dark moondisk (annular eclipse). partial eclipse: At no instant and nowhere on Earth there was a total or annular eclipse, but in certain areas the Moon obscured the Sun partially. Our datafile indicates the maximum magnitude (decimal fraction) of these partial eclipses on Earth (1.000 or more = total eclipse, .000 = less than 0.05% obscured). |
Saros | Number of the Saros series to which the eclipse belongs. [12] |
Inex | Number of the Inex series to which the eclipse belongs. [12] |
