The altitude a and azimuth Aof the Sun or Moon during an eclipse depend on the time and the observer's geographic coordinates. They are calculated as follows: During the eclipses of 2011, the values for GST and the geocentric Right Ascension and Declination of the Sun or the Moon (at greatest eclipse) are as follows: Two web based tools that can al...
During 2012, there will be two solar eclipses and two lunar eclipses: 1. 2012 May 20: Annular Solar Eclipse 2. 2012 Jun 04: Partial Lunar Eclipse 3. 2012 Nov 13: Total Solar Eclipse 4. 2012 Nov 28: Penumbral Lunar Eclipse A full report on eclipses during 2012 will be published in Observer's Handbook 2012.
The NASA Eclipse Web Site features predictions and maps for all solar and lunar eclipses throughout the 21st century, with special emphasis on upcoming eclipses. Special pages devoted to the total and annular solar eclipses of 2012 will feature detailed maps, tables, graphs, and meteorological data. A world atlas of solar eclipses provides maps of ...
All eclipse predictions were generated on an Apple G4 iMac computer using algorithms developed from the Explanatory Supplement [1974] with additional algorithms from Meeus, Grosjean, and Vanderleen [1966]. The solar coordinates used in the eclipse predictions are based on VSOP87 [P. Bretagnon and G. Francou, 1988]. The lunar coordinates are based o...
Eclipse magnitude for solar eclipses is defined as the fraction of the Sun's diameter occulted by the Moon. The instant of greatest eclipse for solar eclipses occurs when the distance between the Moon's shadow axis and Earth's geocentre reaches a minimum. Eclipse obscuration is defined as the fraction of the Sun's area occulted by the Moon. The...

A total lunar eclipse took place on 15 June 2011. It was the first of two such eclipses in 2011. The second occurred on 10 December 2011. While the visual effect of a total eclipse is variable, the Moon may have been stained a deep orange or red colour at maximum eclipse. [citation needed]
Jul 1, 2011 · A concise summary of all solar eclipses from 2011 through 2020 is presented in the table below. The first column gives the Calendar Date of the instant on greatest eclipse. The second column TD of Greatest Eclipse is the Terrestrial Dynamical Time when the axis of the Moon's shadow passes closest to Earth's center.
