Notes
- UTC of Greatest Eclipse
During a solar eclipse, the greatest eclipse is the instant when the distance between the Moon's shadow axis and Earth's center reaches a minimum. During a lunar eclipse, greatest eclipse is the instant when the distance between the axis of Earth's umbral shadow and the center of the Moon's disk reaches a minimum. Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the world's time standard and basis for atomic clocks. This time zone can easily be converted into your local time. - Saros Series
The Saros Series is a period of 223 lunar months that has been used to predict eclipses for thousands of years. In a Saros Series, exactly 9 years, 5.5 days after any lunar eclipse, a solar eclipse will occur, and vice versa. - Eclipse Magnitude (Solar) & Umbral Magnitude (Lunar)
Eclipse magnitude for solar eclipses is the fraction of the Sun's diameter obscured by the Moon. For annular eclipses, the eclipse magnitude is always less than 1. For total eclipses, the eclipse magnitude is always greater than or equal to 1. For both annular and total eclipses, the value listed is actually the ratio of diameters between the Moon and the Sun. Umbral magnitude for lunar eclipses is the fraction of the Moon's diameter obscured by Earth's umbral shadow at the instant of greatest eclipse. For total eclipses, the umbral magnitude is always greater than or equal to 1. For partial eclipses, the umbral magnitude is always greater than 0 and less than 1. For penumbral eclipses, the umbral magnitude is always negative (i.e., less than 0). - Longest Duration of Eclipse Totality or Annularity
This is the longest duration of totality or annularity along the eclipse's path. Viewers will experience a partial eclipse before and after this length of time. - Geographic Region of Eclipse Visibility
Geographic Region of Eclipse Visibility is the portion of Earth's surface where a partial eclipse can be seen. The central path of a total or annular eclipse covers a much smaller region of Earth and is described by listing the countries the path crosses in brackets [].
