ECLIPSE TABLES

The following tables give details for Eclipses of the Sun and the Moon until 2010. Every year will see from two to a maximum of seven eclipses. Those that are visible over a large part of Europe are highlighted. Descriptions of the headings are given at the end of each table.

Mag. = Eclipse magnitude 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 ans total eclipses, the eclipse magnitude is equal to the ratio of diameters between the Moon and the Sun.

Central Duration is the duration of a total or annular eclipse at Greatest Eclipse. Greatest Eclipse is the instant when the axis of the Moon's shadow passes closest to Earth's center.

Geographic Region of Eclipse Visiblity 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 in brackets [ ].

Hybrid eclipses are also known as annular / total eclipses. Such an eclipse is both total and annular along different sections of its umbral path.

Umbral Magnitude is the fraction of the Moon's diameter obscured by Earth's Umbra. For penumbral eclipses, the umbral magnitude is always less than 0. For partial eclipses, the umbral magnitude is always greater than 0 and less than 1. For total eclipses, the umbral magnitude is always greater than or equal to 1.

Eclipse Duration is the duration of a partial eclipse. If the eclipse is total, the duration of totality is given in BOLD
