Thousand Year Canon of Lunar Eclipses 1501 to 2500 by Fred Espenak Pdf

The Thousand Year Canon of Lunar Eclipses 1501 to 2500 contains diagrams, maps and data for each of the 2,424 lunar eclipses occurring over the period covered by this publication. The eclipse predictions are based on the Jet Propulsion Lab's DE406 - a computer ephemeris used for calculating high precision coordinates of the Sun and Moon for thousands of years into the past and future. Section 1 of the Canon presents fundamental concepts including eclipse classification and the visual appearance of each type of eclipse. Section 2 discusses the eclipse predictions, the constants used and Delta T. A statistical analysis of eclipse frequency, extremes in eclipse magnitude, greatest duration and quincena combinations are covered in Section 3. A concise explanation of the data contained in the lunar eclipse catalog (Appendix A) appears in Section 4 while Section 5 offers a complete description of information presented in each of the lunar eclipse diagrams (Appendix B). The primary content of the Thousand Year Canon of Lunar Eclipses resides in the two appendices. Appendix A is a comprehensive catalog listing the essential characteristics of each eclipse. These include the calendar date and time of greatest eclipse, Delta T, lunation number, Saros series number, gamma, penumbral and umbral eclipse magnitudes, durations of the penumbral, partial and total phases, and the geocentric location of the Moon in zenith at greatest eclipse. Appendix B is an atlas of figures depicting the path of the Moon through Earth's shadows and maps identifying the geographic regions of visibility of each eclipse. The 2,424 figures are arranged twelve to a page at an image scale permitting the assessment of eclipse visibility from any location on Earth. Other data on each figure include the eclipse type, calendar date and time of greatest eclipse, Saros series number, lunar node, Delta T, gamma, eclipse magnitudes, and phase durations. The diagrams and data presented in the Thousand Year Canon of Lunar Eclipses form the basis of the eclipse prediction website www.EclipseWise.com. The complementary publication, Thousand Year Canon of Solar Eclipses 1501 to 2500, contains maps and data for all 2,389 eclipses of the Sun occurring over the same time period.

Atlas of Central Solar Eclipses in the USA by Fred Espenak Pdf

With the upcoming total solar eclipse of 2017 August 21, certain questions naturally arise as to the frequency of these events. When was the last total eclipse through the USA and when is the next? How often do they happen? What total eclipse tracks passed across the USA during the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, etc., and what states did they include? And how often is a total solar eclipse visible from each of the 50 states? In 2012 the track of an annular solar eclipse passed through the western USA. The same questions can be asked about this type of eclipse.The "Atlas of Central Solar Eclipses in the USA" answers all of these questions. It contains of a comprehensive series of 499 global maps showing the geographic track of every single total and annular solar eclipse across the USA (including Alaska and Hawaii) during the two-thousand-year period 1001 through 3000. It is accompanied by a catalog that lists the major characteristics of each eclipse including its duration and whether it is visible from the lower 48 states, Alaska and/or Hawaii.Finally, a set of 20 detailed maps, each covering a 50 years and centered on the continental USA (i.e., the lower 48 states), shows the path of every central eclipse (total or annular). The maps include state boundaries as well as the location of major cities. This allows quick determination as to whether a particular eclipse was visible from any state or city in question. These maps also cover southern Canada and northern Mexico.There is something compelling about the pattern of eclipse tracks crossing familiar places many hundreds of years in the past and future. It was this fascination that inspired the creation of the Atlas.
