WAITING FOR THE
SHADOW
SOLAR AND LUNAR ECLIPSE OBSERVINGHOME PAGE |
|
In
these tables of circumstance, I list the circumstances for locations along the
centreline first
then for towns experiencing a partial eclipse. The towns experiencing partial
eclipses are listed
clockwise around the continent starting in the north Darwin, Mt Isa Cooktown then working down
the east coast across the south to Perth in the west and finishing in the center at Alice Springs.
Data format
Data
comes from Xavier Jubier's Google Earth interactive
eclipse circumstances tool.
The
latitude and longitude are shown in degrees, minutes, seconds and converted to
decimal format to the right.
Obscuration is the percentage of the
area of the Sun's disk covered by the Moon
Magnitude is the percentage of the
diameter of the Sun's disk covered by the Moon
Moon
sun size ratio is exactly what it sounds like.
Delta
T is the difference between Terrestrial Dynamical Time and Universal Time.
Detailed explanation of delta T : http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEhelp/deltaT.html
means that at the time listed for the event, the Sun is below the local horizon.
