About this catalog

Coverage

The catalog lists 339 solar and lunar eclipses from 1975 to 2050. Dates and times in the list come from the astronomy-engine library, whose model of Earth's spin is off by a few seconds today. Nobody can predict that spin far ahead: for 2050, two reasonable models differ by about 13 seconds, which moves a path roughly 5 km. The maps and the local times for a place you click use NASA's published elements with our own correction for the Earth's spin.

How the maps are drawn

The shaded band shows where the eclipse is total or annular, drawn from NASA's Besselian elements. We compared the ends of the band with Xavier Jubier's maps for the 107 total and annular eclipses in the catalog: the two edges end a median of 0.1 km from his, and the centre line a median of 1.2 km. Where the path reaches sunrise or sunset the match is looser, and a few ends differ by more than 10 km. Lunar eclipse maps show the whole night side of Earth, where the Moon is up at mid-eclipse.
