Key to Catalog of Solar Eclipses
Col Ref	Heading	Definition/Description
1	Date	Calendar Date at instant of Greatest Eclipse. Gregorian Calendar is used for dates after 1582 Oct 15. Julian Calendar is used for dates before 1582 Oct 04.
2	U.T.@ Greatest Eclipse	Time (UT) of Greatest Eclipse, the instant when the axis of the Moon's shadow passes closest to Earth's center.
3	Eclipse Type	Type of eclipse where: P = Partial Eclipse. A = Annular Eclipse. T = Total Eclipse. H = Hybrid Eclipse. Also known as annular/total eclipses. Such an eclipse is both total and annular along different sections of its umbral path.
4	Saros	Saros series of eclipse. (Each eclipse belonging to a Saros series are listed in a table which may be accessed by selecting the Saros number. Each series is typically separated by a recurring interval of 18 years 11.3 days.)
5	Gamma	Distance of the shadow cone axis from the center of Earth (units of equatorial radii) at the instant of greatest eclipse.
6	Eclipse Magnitude	Eclipse magnitude1 is the fraction of the Sun's diameter obscured by the Moon obscured at the instant of greatest eclipse2.
7	Central Duration	Central duration of Total, Annular, or Hybrid phase at greatest eclipse and gives the length of the eclipse as seen from the central line at greatest eclipse2. The tables include the northern and southern limits of the path as well as the central line.
8	Lat.	Latitude (degrees) where greatest eclipse is seen.
9	Long.	Longitude (degrees) where greatest eclipse is seen.
10	Sun Alt	Sun altitude (degrees) at greatest eclipse, angle above local horizon. Altitude is the angle up from the horizon. Zero degrees altitude means exactly on your local horizon, and 90 degrees is "straight up". Hence, "directly underfoot" is -90 degrees altitude. Eclipse Altitudes and Azimuths Algorthims The altitude [a] and azimuth [A] of the Sun (or Moon) during an eclipse depends on the time and the observer's geographic coordinates. They are calculated as follows: h = 15 (GST + UT - ra ) + l a = ArcSin [ Sin d Sin f + Cos d Cos h Cos f ] A = ArcTan [ - (Cos d Sin h) / (Sin d Cos f - Cos d Cos h Sin f) ] where: h = Hour Angle of Sun or Moon a = Altitude A = Azimuth GST = Greenwich Sidereal Time at 0:00 UT UT = Universal Time ra = Right Ascension of Sun or Moon d = Declination of Sun or Moon l = Observer's Longitude (East +, West -) f = Observer's Latitude (North +, South -) During the eclipses of 2002, the values for GST and the geocentric Right Ascension and Declination of the Sun or the Moon (at greatest eclipse) are as follows: Eclipse Date GST ra d Penumbral Lunar 2002 May 26 16.259 16.231 -20.027 Annular Solar 2002 Jun 10 17.277 5.268 23.055 Penumbral Lunar 2002 Jun 24 18.191 18.224 -24.785 Penumbral Lunar 2002 Nov 20 3.928 3.708 18.654 Total Solar 2002 Dec 04 4.863 16.697 -22.225
11	Sun Azm	Sun Azimuth (degrees) at greatest eclipse, is the angle along the horizon, with zero degrees corresponding to North, and increasing in a clockwise fashion. Thus, 90 degrees is East, 180 degrees is South, and 270 degrees is West. The altitude and azimuth values are for the center of the apparent disk of the Sun or Moon. The altitude values include the effect of standard atmospheric refraction when the object is above the horizon. The azimuth values are computed with respect to true north (not magnetic).
12	Path Width	Width of the path of totality or at greatest eclipse (kilometers).
13	Geographic Region of Eclipse Visibility	Geographic Region of Eclipse Visibility3 provides a brief description of where each eclipse will be seen. It will link (if available) to more detailed descriptions of the eclipse path, some provided by articles published in the Observer's Handbook of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada.
14	Global Map	Global maps use an orthographic projection of Earth which shows the region of visibility for each eclipse. The path of the Moon's penumbral shadow (red) covers the region of partial eclipse, while the course to the umbral shadow (blue) defines the path of total or annular eclipse. The track of the umbral/antumbral shadow (blue) defines the path of total or annular eclipse. These figures are described in greater detail in the Key to Solar Eclipse Maps. Each figure is stored as a gif of 40 to 50 kilobytes. Loops provided an animation of the Moon's penumbral and umbral shadows across Earth, where available. Each animated GIF file is about 125 kilobytes on average, but the individual files vary from 40 KB to 172 KB.
15	Path Table	The path tables includes comprehensive data on the geographic coordinates of the northern and southern limits, as well as the center line. The path characteristics are generated at 2 minute intervals of time compared to the 6 minute interval used in Fifty Year Canon of Solar Eclipses: 1986 - 2035. The central path of a total or annular eclipse covers a much smaller region of Earth and is described in brackets []. This should provide enough detail for making preliminary plots of the path on larger scale maps. Local circumstances on the center line include the Sun's altitide and azimuth, the path width (kilometers) and the duration of the central eclipse. Note: Some of these path links will point to animations of the Moon's penumbral and umbral shadows across Earth. Each animated GIF file is about 125 kilobytes on average, but the individual files vary from 40 KB to 172 KB.
Footnotes 1Eclipse 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 and total eclipses, the value listed is actually the ratio of diameters between the Moon and the Sun. 2Greatest Eclipse is the instant when the axis of the Moon's shadow passes closest to Earth's center. 3Geographic 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 in brackets [].
