Date Calendar Date (Gregorian) at instant of
Greatest Eclipse.
(Julian calendar is used before 1582 Oct 15).
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.
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).
Saros Saros series of eclipse.
(Each eclipse in a Saros is separated by an interval
of 18 years 11.3 days.)
Gamma Distance of the Moon from the axis of Earth's
shadow cone (units of equatorial radii) at the
instant of greatest eclipse.
Pen. Penumbral eclipse magnitude is the fraction of
Mag. the Moon's diameter obscured by the penumbra.
Umb. Umbral eclipse magnitude is the fraction of
Mag. the Moon's diameter obscured by the umbra.
S.D. Semi-duration of partial (umbral) eclipse (minutes).
Par
