The first major work of this kind was Theodor von Oppolzer’s 1887 Canon der Finsternisse (Translated as Canon of Eclipses, Gingerich, 1962). It stands as one of the greatest achievements in computational astronomy of the 19th century and contains the elements of all 8,000 solar eclipses (and 5,200 lunar eclipses) occurring between the years –1207 and +2161 (1208 BCE and 2161 CE, respectively), together with maps showing the approximate positions of the central lines. To accomplish this remarkable feat, a number of approximations were used in the calculations and maps. Consequently, the eclipse paths often differ by hundreds of miles compared to rigorous predictions generated with modern ephemerides. Furthermore, the 1887 Canon took no account of the shifts imparted to ancient eclipse paths as a consequence of Earth’s variable rotation rate and the secular acceleration of the Moon. Nevertheless, Oppolzer’s canon remained the standard reference for nearly a century. With the arrival of the electronic computer, the Canon of Solar Eclipses (Meeus, Grosjean, and Vanderleen, 1966) contains the Besselian elements of all solar eclipses from +1898 to +2510, together with central line tables and maps. The aim of this work was to provide data on future eclipses. In comparison, the Canon of Solar Eclipses, –2003 to +2526 (Mucke and Meeus, 1983) was intended primarily for historical research, serving as the modern day successor of Oppolzer’s great canon. The Mucke-Meeus publication included Besselian elements and maps of all 10,774 solar eclipses during this time interval. Each orthographic map was oriented to show the day-side hemisphere of Earth. In this projection, the path of the Moon’s penumbra and the central axis of the shadow cone could be approximated by straight lines. Several other special canons have been produced. Atlas of Historical Eclipse Maps, East Asia 1500 BC – AD 1900 (Stephenson and Houlden, 1986) provides the path maps of all total and annular eclipses visible from China. The Fifty Year Canon of Solar Eclipses: 1986–2035 (Espenak, 1987) contains individual detailed maps and central path data for all solar eclipses from 1986 through 2035. Without exception, all solar eclipse canons produced during the latter half of the 20th century were based on Newcomb’s tables of the Sun (1895) and Brown’s lunar theory (1905), subject to later modifications in the Improved Lunar Ephemeris (1954). These were the best ephemerides of their day, but they have all been superseded. The recently published Five Millennium Canon of Solar Eclipses: –1999 to +3000 (Espenak and Meeus, 2007) contains individual maps for each of the 11,898 solar eclipses occurring over this period. The following points highlight the features and characteristics of this work. • Based on modern theories of the Sun and the Moon constructed at the Bureau des Longitudes of Paris rather than the older Newcomb and Brown ephemerides. • Ephemerides and eclipse predictions performed in Terrestrial Dynamical Time. • Covers historical period of eclipses, as well as one millennium into the future. • Global maps for each eclipse depict the actual northern and southern limits of the Moon’s penumbral and umbral or antumbral shadows, as well as the sunrise and sunset curves. • Maps include curve of eclipse magnitude 0.5. • Maps include continental outlines with contemporary political boundaries and are large enough to identify geographic regions of eclipse visibility. • Maps are based on the most current determination of the historical values of ∆T. • Estimates of eclipse path accuracy based on the uncertainty in the value of ∆T (i.e., standard error in ∆T) iii Five Millennium Catalog of Solar Eclipses: –1999 to +3000 (2000 BCE to 3000 CE) A primary goal of this work is to assist historians and archeologists in the identification and dating of eclipses found in references and records from antiquity. This is no easy task because there are usually several possible candidates. Accurate maps using the best available values of ∆T coupled with estimates in the standard error of ∆T, are critical in discriminating among potential eclipse candidates. Ultimately, historical eclipse identification can lead to improved chronologies in the timeline of a particular culture. The Canon is of value to educators, planetariums, and anyone interested in knowing when and where past and future eclipses occur. The general public is fascinated by eclipses. With each major eclipse, the question always arises as to when a particular location experienced its last and next eclipses. The maps presented in the Canon are ideally suited to addressing such queries. To supplement the 11,898 eclipse maps in the Five Millennium Canon of Solar Eclipses, we offer the following catalog. It includes additional information for each eclipse that could not be included in the original 648-page publication because of size limits. The data tabulated for each eclipse include the catalog number, canon plate number, calendar date, Terrestrial Dynamical Time of greatest eclipse, ∆T, lunation number, Saros number, eclipse type, Quincena Lunar Eclipse parameter, gamma, eclipse magnitude, geographic coordinates of greatest eclipse (latitude and longitude), and the circumstances at greatest eclipse (i.e., Sun altitude and azimuth, path width, and central line duration). The Canon and the Catalog both use the same solar and lunar ephemerides as well as the same values of ∆T. This 1-to-1 correspondence between them will enhance the value of each. The researcher may now search, evaluate, and compare eclipses graphically (Canon) or textually (Catalog). —Fred Espenak and Jean Meeus 2008 August PREFACE TO THE REVISED EDITION The purpose of this revised edition of the Five Millennium Catalog of Solar Eclipses is to correct an error in the value of ∆T given in some of the tables in the Appendix. The affected tables in the original publication cover the period from about –600 through +1700 with the largest deviations in ∆T (1500 to 4600 s) occurring between years +500 to +1000. The errant values resulted from an indexing problem in the software used to generate the final tables. The corresponding longitude values of greatest eclipse are also incorrect because they rely on the value of ∆T. The revised publication corrects the above errors. —Fred Espenak and Jean Meeus 2009 January iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Fred Espenak and Jean Meeus Section 1: Catalog and Predictions��������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������1 Section 2: Time���������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� 9 Section 3: Solar Eclipse Statistics�����������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������17 Section 4: Eclipses and the Moon’s Orbit���������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� 37 Section 5: Solar Eclipse Periodicity������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������ 48 Abbreviations���������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� 62 References���������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� 63 Appendix��������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������A-1 v Fred Espenak and Jean Meeus Section 1: Catalog and Predictions 1.1 Introduction Earth will experience 11,898 eclipses of the Sun during the 5000-year period from –1999 to +3000 (2000 BCEa to 3000 CE). The catalog presented in the Appendix consists of a series of tables that summarize the principal characteristics of each solar eclipse over this time interval. As such, it serves to complement the previously published Five Millennium Canon of Solar Eclipses (NASA/TP–2006–214141), which contain individual maps for each eclipse over the same period. 1.2 Explanation of Solar Eclipse Catalog Each line in the catalog corresponds to one eclipse and provides concise parameters to characterize the eclipse. The calendar date and Dynamical Time of the instant of greatest eclipse are given along with the adopted value of delta T (ΔT). The lunation number (since 2000 Jan 06) and the Saros series are listed along with the eclipse type (P=Partial, A=Annular, T=Total, or H=Hybrid). Gamma is the distance of the shadow axis from Earth’s center at greatest eclipse, while the eclipse magnitude is defined as the fraction of the Sun’s diameter obscured at that instant. The geographic latitude and longitude of the umbra are given for greatest eclipse, along with the Sun’s altitude and azimuth, the width of the path (kilometers), and the central line duration of totality or annularity. For both partial and non-central umbral/ antumbral eclipses, the latitude and longitude correspond to the point closest to the shadow cone axis at greatest eclipse. The Sun’s altitude is always 0° at this location. A more detailed description of each field in the catalog follows. 1.2.1 Catalog Number The catalog number is the sequential number assigned to each eclipse in the catalog from 1 to 11,898. 1.2.2 Canon Plate The Five Millennium Canon of Solar Eclipses consists of 595 plates with 20 eclipse maps per plate. The canon plate identifies the plate number in which each eclipse appears. 1.2.3 Calendar Date All eclipse dates from 1582 Oct 15 onwards use the modern Gregorian calendar currently found throughout most of the world. The older Julian calendar is used for eclipse dates prior to 1582 Oct 04. Because of the Gregorian Calendar Reform, the day following 1582 Oct 04 (Julian calendar) is 1582 Oct 15 (Gregorian calendar). The Gregorian calendar was decreed by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582 to correct a problem in a drift of the seasons. It adopts the convention of a year containing 365 days. Every fourth year is a leap year of 366 days if it is divisible by 4 (e.g., 2004, 2008, etc.). However, whole century years (e.g., 1700, 1800, 1900) are excluded from the leap year rule unless they are also divisible by 400 (e.g., 2000). This complicated dating scheme was designed to keep the vernal equinox on or within a day of March 21. Prior to the Gregorian Calendar Reform in 1582, the Julian calendar was in wide use. It was simpler than the Gregorian in that all years divisible by 4 were counted as 366-day leap years. This simplicity came at a cost. After more than 16 centuries of use, the Julian calendar date of the vernal equinox had drifted 11 days from March 21. It was this failure of the Julian calendar that resulted in the Gregorian Calendar Reform. a. The terms BCE and CE are abbreviations for “Before the Common Era” and “Common Era,” respectively. They are the secular equivalents to the BC and AD dating conventions. A major advantage of the BCE/CE convention is that both terms are suffixes, whereas BC and AD are used as a suffix and prefix, respectively. 1 Five Millennium Catalog of Solar Eclipses: –1999 to +3000 (2000 BCE to 3000 CE) The Julian calendar does not include the year 0, so the year 1 BCE is followed by the year 1 CE. This is awkward for arithmetic calculations. In this publication, dates are counted using the astronomical numbering system which recognizes the year 0. Historians should note the numerical difference of one year between astronomical dates and BCE dates. Thus, the year 0 corresponds to 1 BCE, and the year –100 corresponds to 101 BCE, etc. There are a number of ways to write the calendar date through variations in the order of day, month, and year. The International Organization for Standardization’s (ISO) 8601 advises a numeric date representation, which organizes the elements from the largest to the smallest. The exact format is YYYY-MM-DD where YYYY is the calendar year, MM is the month of the year between 01 (January) and 12 (December), and DD is the day of the month between 01 and 31. For example, the 27th day of April in the year 1943 would then be expressed as 1943-04-27. We follow the ISO convention, but have replaced the month number with the three-letter English abbreviation of the month name for additional clarity. From the previous example, we express the date as 1943 Apr 27. 1.2.4 TD of Greatest Eclipse The instant of greatest eclipse occurs when the distance between the axis of the Moon’s shadow cone and the center of Earth reaches a minimum. For partial eclipses, the instant of greatest eclipse differs slightly from the instant of greatest magnitude primarily because of Earth’s flattening. For total eclipses, the instant of greatest eclipse differs slightly from the instant of greatest duration, although the differences are quite small. Solar eclipses occur when the Moon is near one of the nodes of its orbit, and therefore, moving at an angle of about 5° to the ecliptic. Hence, unless the eclipse is perfectly central, the instant of greatest eclipse does not coincide with that of apparent ecliptic conjunction (i.e., New Moon), nor with the time of conjunction in Right Ascension. Greatest eclipse is given in Terrestrial Dynamical Time (TD, Sect. 2.3), which is a time system based on International Atomic Time. As such, TD is the atomic time equivalent to its predecessor Ephemeris Time (Sect. 2.2) and is used in the theories of motion for bodies in the solar system. To determine the geographic visibility of an eclipse, TD is converted to Universal Time (Sect. 2.4) using the parameter ∆T (Sects. 2.6 and 2.7). 1.2.5 Delta T (∆T) Delta T (∆T) is the arithmetic difference, in seconds, between Terrestrial Dynamical Time (Sect. 2.3) and Universal Time (Sect. 2.4). For more information on ∆T, see Section 2.6. 1.2.6 Lunation Number The lunation number is the number of synodic months or lunations since New Moon on 2000 Jan 06. The Brown Lunation Number can be calculated from it by adding 953. 1.2.7 Saros Series Number Each eclipse belongs to a Saros series (Sect. 5.2) using a numbering system first introduced by van den Bergh (1955). This system has been expanded to include negative values from the past, as well as additional series in the future. The eclipses with an odd Saros number take place at the ascending node of the Moon’s orbit; those with an even Saros number take place at the descending node. The Saros is a period of 223 synodic months, or approximately 18 years, 11 days, and 8 hours. Eclipses separated by this period belong to the same Saros series and share similar geometry and characteristics. 2 1.2.8 Eclipse Type Fred Espenak and Jean Meeus The first character in this 2-character parameter gives the eclipse type. The four basic types of solar eclipses are: 1) P = Partial Solar Eclipse (Moon’s penumbral shadow traverses Earth; Moon’s umbral and antumbral shadows completely miss Earth) 2) A = Annular Solar Eclipse (Moon’s antumbral shadow traverses Earth; Moon is too far from Earth to completely cover the Sun) 3) T = Total Solar Eclipse (Moon’s umbral shadow traverses Earth (Moon is close enough to Earth to completely cover the Sun) 4) H = Hybrid Solar Eclipse (Moon’s umbral and antumbral shadows traverse different parts of Earth; eclipse appears either total or annular along different sections of its path. Hybrid eclipses are also known as annular-total eclipses.) The second character of the eclipse type is a qualifier defined as follows. 1) m = Middle eclipse of Saros series. 2) n = Central eclipsea with no northern limit. 3) s = Central eclipse with no southern limit. 4) + = Non-central eclipseb with no northern limit. 5) – = Non-central eclipse with no southern limit. 6) 2 = Hybrid eclipsec path begins total and ends annular. 7) 3 = Hybrid eclipse path begins annular and ends total. 8) b = Saros series begins (first eclipse in a Saros series). 9) e = Saros series ends (last eclipse in a Saros series). Qualifiers 1 through 5 are used with annular, total or hybrid eclipses but not partial eclipses. Qualifiers 6 and 7 apply only to special classes of hybrid eclipses while qualifiers 8 and 9 are used exclusively with partial eclipses. 1.2.9 Quincena Lunar Eclipse Parameter (QLE) A lunar eclipse always occurs within ~15 days of a solar eclipse. The Quincenad Lunar Eclipse parameter (QLE) identifies the type of the lunar eclipse and whether it precedes or succeeds a particular solar eclipse. There are three basic types of lunar eclipses: 1) n = penumbral lunar eclipse (Moon partly or completely within Earth’s penumbral shadow) 2) p = partial lunar eclipse (Moon partly within Earth’s umbral shadow) 3) t = total lunar eclipse (Moon completely within Earth’s umbral shadow) a. A central eclipse is an annular, total or hybrid eclipse in which the central axis of the Moon’s shadow traverses Earth, thereby producing a central line in the eclipse track. The paths of most central eclipses have both a northern and southern limit. On rare occasions when the umbral or antumbral shadow grazes Earth, the resulting the eclipse track may have only one limit. b. A non-central eclipse is an annular, total or hybrid eclipse in which the central axis of the Moon’s shadow misses Earth, while one edge of the umbra or antumbra grazes Earth producing a ground track with one limit and no central line. c. Most hybrid eclipse paths begin and end as annular while becoming total along the middle portion of the track. In rare instances, however, a hybrid may begin as annular and end as total or vise versa. d. Quincena is Spanish for a period of about 15 days. The month is normally divided into two quincenas. The first quincena consists of the initial 15 days of the month while the remaining days make up the second quincena. Thus, the exact length of a quincena can vary from 13 to 16 days, depending on the month. For the purpose of this catalog, the term quincena is used to describe a pair of eclipses—one solar and one lunar—occurring within ~15 days of each other. 3 Five Millennium Catalog of Solar Eclipses: –1999 to +3000 (2000 BCE to 3000 CE) The QLE consists of a two-character string. The characters identify the type of lunar eclipse preceding and succeeding a solar eclipse, respectively. In most instances, one of the two characters in the QLE is “-” indicating a single lunar eclipse either precedes or succeeds the solar eclipse. On some occasions, a double quincena occurs in which a solar eclipse is both preceded and succeeded by lunar eclipses. The QLE then consists of two characters identifying the types of the two lunar eclipses. 1.2.10 Gamma The quantity gamma is the minimum distance from the axis of the lunar shadow cone to the center of Earth, in units of Earth’s equatorial radius. This distance is positive or negative, depending on whether the axis of the shadow cone passes north or south of Earth’s center. If gamma is between +0.997 and –0.997, the eclipse is a central one (either total, annular, or hybrid). The limiting value 0.997 differs from unity because of the flattening of Earth. The change in the value of gamma, after one Saros period, is larger when Earth is near its aphelion (June–July) than when it is near perihelion (December–January). Table 1-1 illustrates this point using eclipses from two different Saros series. Table 1-1. Variation in Gamma at Aphelion vs. Perihelion Date Gamma Date Gamma 1955 Jun 20 –0.15278 1956 Dec 02 +1.09229 1973 Jun 30 –0.07853 1974 Dec 13 +1.07975 1991 Jul 11 –0.00412 1992 Dec 24 +1.07107 2009 Jul 22 +0.06977 2011 Jan 04 +1.06265 2027 Aug 02 +0.14209 2029 Jan 14 +1.05532 A similar situation exists in the case of lunar eclipses. The explanation can be found in van den Bergh (1955). 1.2.11 Eclipse Magnitude The eclipse magnitude is defined as the fraction of the Sun’s diameter occulted by the Moon. For partial eclipses, the eclipse magnitude at the instant of greatest eclipse is given for the geographic position closest to the axis of the Moon’s shadow cone. For central eclipses (total, annular, and hybrid), the eclipse magnitude listed is actually the ratio of the topocentric apparent diameters of the Moon and Sun at greatest eclipse. The eclipse magnitude is always less than 1.0 for partial and annular eclipses, but equal to, or greater than, 1.0 for total and hybrid eclipses. 1.2.12 Latitude and Longitude The geographic latitude and longitude corresponds to the position of greatest eclipse. 1.2.13 Altitude of Sun The Sun’s altitude at the geographic position intersected by the axis of the lunar shadow cone is given at the instant of greatest eclipse. For partial eclipses, the Sun’s altitude is always 0° because the shadow axis misses Earth. In this case, the geographic position corresponds to the point closest to the shadow axis. 4 1.2.14 Azimuth of Sun Fred Espenak and Jean Meeus The Sun’s azimuth at the geographic position intersected by the axis of the lunar shadow cone is given at the instant of greatest eclipse. The values 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270° correspond to the cardinal directions north, east, south and west, respectively. 1.2.15 Path Width For central eclipses (total, annular, or hybrid), the width of the path of totality or annularity (kilometers) is given at the geographic position intersected by the axis of the lunar shadow cone at the instant of greatest eclipse. 1.2.16 Central Line Duration For central eclipses (total, annular, or hybrid), the central line duration of the total or annular phase (in minutes and seconds) is given at the geographic position intersected by the axis of the lunar shadow cone at the instant of greatest eclipse. In the case of a total or hybrid eclipse, this duration is very nearly, but not exactly, the maximum duration of the total phase along the entire umbral path. For an annular eclipse, the duration at greatest eclipse may be near either the minimum or maximum duration of the annular phase along the path. If the annular phase duration exceeds approximately 2.3 min, then it corresponds to the near maximum duration along the central line track. If the annular phase duration is less, however, then it corresponds to a near minimum and the annular duration increases towards the ends of the central path. 1.3 Solar and Lunar Coordinates The coordinates of the Sun used in these eclipse predictions have been calculated on the basis of the VSOP87 theory constructed by Bretagnon and Francou (1988) at the Bureau des Longitudes, Paris. This theory gives the ecliptic longitude and latitude of the planets, and their radius vector, as sums of periodic terms. The complete set of periodic terms of version D of VSOP87 (this version provides the positions referred to the mean equinox of the date) were used in the predictions. For the Moon, use has been made of the theory ELP-2000/82 of Chapront-Touzé and Chapront (1983), again of the Bureau des Longitudes. This theory contains a total of 37,862 periodic terms, namely 20,560 for the Moon’s longitude, 7,684 for the latitude, and 9,618 for the distance to Earth. But many of these terms are very small: some have an amplitude of only 0.00001 arcsec for the longitude or the latitude, and of 2 cm for the distance. The computer program used in the eclipse predictions neglects all periodic terms with coefficients smaller than 0.0005 arcsec in longitude and latitude, and smaller than 1 m in distance. Because of the exclusion of these very small periodic terms, the Moon’s calculated positions have a mean error (as compared to the full ELP theory) of about 0.0006 s of time in right ascension, and about 0.006 arcsec in declination. The corresponding error in the calculated times of the phases of a solar eclipse is of the order of 1/40 s, which is considerably smaller than the uncertainties in predicted values of ∆T, and also much smaller than the error due to neglecting the irregularities (mountains and valleys) at the lunar limb. Improved expressions for the mean arguments L′, D, M, M′, and F have been taken from Chapront, Chapront-Touzé, and Francou (2002). A major consequence of this work is to bring the secular acceleration of the Moon’s longitude (–25.858 arcsec/cy2, where arcsec/cy2 is arc seconds per Julian century squareda) into good agreement with Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR) observations from 1972 to 2001 (Sect. 1.4). a. This unit, arcsec/cy2, is used in discussing secular changes in the Moon’s longitude over long time intervals. 5 Five Millennium Catalog of Solar Eclipses: –1999 to +3000 (2000 BCE to 3000 CE) The center of figure of the Moon does not coincide exactly with its center of mass. To compensate for this property in their eclipse predictions, many of the national institutes employ an empirical correction to the center of mass position of the Moon. This correction is typically +0.50 arcsec in longitude and –0.25 arcsec in latitude. Unfortunately, the large variation in lunar libration from one eclipse to the next minimizes the effectiveness of the empirical correction. The authors have chosen to ignore this convention and have performed all calculations using the Moon’s center of mass position. In any case, it has no practical impact on the present work. 1.4 Secular Acceleration of the Moon Ocean tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon (and, to a lesser extent, the Sun). The resulting tidal bulge in Earth’s oceans is dragged ahead of the Moon in its orbit because of the daily rotation of Earth. As a consequence, the ocean mass offset from the Earth–Moon line exerts a pull on the Moon and accelerates it in its orbit. Conversely, the Moon’s gravitational tug on this mass exerts a torque that decelerates the rotation of Earth. The length of the day gradually increases as energy is transferred from Earth to the Moon, causing the lunar orbit and period of revolution about Earth to increase. This secular acceleration of the Moon is small, but it has a cumulative effect on the Moon’s position when extrapolated over many centuries. Direct measurements of the acceleration have only been possible since 1969 using the Apollo retro-reflectors left on the Moon. The results from LLR show that the Moon’s mean distance from Earth is increasing by 3.8 cm per year (Dickey, et al., 1994). The corresponding acceleration in the Moon’s ecliptic longitude is –25.858 arcsec/cy2 (Chapront, Chapront-Touzé, and Francou, 2002). This is the value we have adopted in our lunar ephemeris calculations. There is a close correlation between the Moon’s secular acceleration and changes in the length of the day. The relation- ship, however, is not exact because the lunar orbit is inclined anywhere from about 18.5° to 28.5° to Earth’s equator. The parameter ∆T (Sects. 2.6 and 2.7) is a measure of the accumulated difference in time between an ideal clock and one based on Earth’s rotation as it gradually slows down. Published determinations of ∆T from historical eclipse records have assumed a secular acceleration of –26 arcsec/cy2 (Morrison and Stephenson, 2004). Because a slightly different value for the secular acceleration is adopted here, a small correction “c” must be made to the published values of ∆T as follows: c = –0.91072 (–25.858 + 26.0 ) u 2, (1–1) where u = (year –1955)/100. Then ∆T (corrected) = ∆T + c. (1–2) Evaluation of the correction at 1,000 year intervals over the period spanned by this Catalog is found in Table 1-2. Table 1-2. Corrections to ∆T Due to Secular Acceleration Year –2000 –1000 0 +1000 +2000 +3000 Correction (seconds) –202 –113 –49 –12 0 –14 6 Fred Espenak and Jean Meeus The correction is only important for negative years, although it is significantly smaller than the actual uncertainty in ∆T itself (Sect. 2.8). The secular acceleration of the Moon is poorly known and may not be constant. Careful records for its derivation only go back about a century. Before then, spurious and often incomplete eclipse and occultation observations from medieval and ancient manuscripts comprise the database. In any case, the current value implies an increase in the length of day (LOD) of about 2.3 ms/cy. Such a small amount may seem insignificant, but it has very measurable cumulative effects. At this rate, time as measured through Earth’s rotation is losing about 84 s/cy2 when compared to atomic time. 1.5 Mean Lunar Radius A fundamental parameter used in eclipse predictions is the Moon’s radius, k, expressed in units of Earth’s equatorial radius. The Moon’s actual radius varies as a function of position angle and libration because of irregularity in the limb profile. From 1968 to 1980, the Nautical Almanac Office used two separate values for k in their predictions. The larger value (k=0.2724880), representing a mean over topographic features, was used for all penumbral (exterior) contacts and for annular eclipses. A smaller value (k=0.272281), representing a mean minimum radius, was reserved exclusively for umbral (interior) contact calculations of total eclipses (Explanatory Supplement, 1974). Unfortunately, the use of two different values of k for total and annular eclipses introduces a discontinuity in the case of hybrid eclipses. In 1982, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) adopted a value of k=0.2725076 for the lunar radius, based on a mean including mountain peaks and valleys along the Moon’s limb. This value is currently used by the Nautical Almanac Office for all solar eclipse predictions. The adoption of one single value for k eliminates the discontinuity in the case of hybrid eclipses and ends confusion arising from the use of two different values. However, the use of even the best mean value for the Moon’s radius introduces a problem in predicting the true character and duration of umbral and antumbral eclipses, particularly total eclipses. A total eclipse can be defined as an eclipse in which the Sun’s disk is completely occulted by the Moon. This cannot occur so long as any photospheric rays are visible through deep valleys along the Moon’s limb (Meeus, Grosjean, and Vanderleen, 1966); but the use of the IAU’s mean k guarantees that some annular or hybrid eclipses will be misidentified as total. A case in point is the eclipse of 1986 Oct 03. Using the IAU value for k, the Astronomical Almanac for 1986 (1985) identified this event as a total eclipse of 3 s duration when it was, in fact, a beaded annular eclipse. Because a smaller value of k is more representative of the deeper lunar valleys and hence, the minimum solid disk radius, it helps ensure the correct identification of an eclipse’s actual type. This publication adopts the two values for k used by the Nautical Almanac Office from 1968 through 1980. The larger value (k=0.2724880) is utilized for all partial (penumbral) eclipses. The magnitudes of these eclipses typically agree to within 0.0001 of the magnitudes calculated using the IAU value for k. In order to avoid eclipse type misidentification and to predict central durations, which are closer to the actual durations at total eclipses, the smaller value (k=0.272281) is used for all umbral and antumbral eclipses (total, annular, and hybrid). This usage of the smaller k value is consistent with predictions in Fifty Year Canon of Solar Eclipses: 1986–2035 (Espenak, 1987). Consequently, the smaller k produces shorter central durations and narrower paths for total eclipses when compared with calculations using the IAU value for k. Similarly, predictions using the smaller k result in longer central durations and wider paths for annular eclipses than do predictions using the IAU’s k. 1.6 Five Millennium Catalog of Solar Eclipses on the Internet The Five Millennium Catalog of Solar Eclipses—Revised (NASA/TP–2009–214174) is available in PDF format on the NASA Eclipse Web Site at: 7 Five Millennium Catalog of Solar Eclipses: –1999 to +3000 (2000 BCE to 3000 CE) http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEpubs/5MKSE.html The tables in this catalog are also available via the Web at: http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEcat5/catalog.html Organized into 100-year intervals, the tables have individual links to eclipse maps and Saros series tables. 1.7 Five Millennium Canon of Solar Eclipses on the Internet The Five Millennium Canon of Solar Eclipses (NASA/TP–2006–214141) is available in PDF format on the NASA Eclipse Web Site at: http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEpubs/5MCSE.html 8 Section 2: Time Fred Espenak and Jean Meeus 2.1 Greenwich Mean Time For thousands of years, time has been measured using the length of the solar day. This is the interval between two successive returns of the Sun to an observer’s local meridian. Unfortunately, the length of the apparent solar day can vary by tens of seconds over the course of a year. Earth’s elliptical orbit around the Sun and the 23.5° inclination of Earth’s axis of rotation are responsible for these variations. Apparent solar time was eventually replaced by mean solar time because it provides for a uniform time scale. The key to mean solar time is the mean solar day, which has a constant length of 24 hours throughout the year. Mean solar time on the 0° longitude meridian in Greenwich, England is known as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). At the International Meridian Conference of 1884, GMT a was adopted as the reference time for all clocks around the world. It was also agreed that all longitudes would be measured east or west with respect to the Greenwich meridian. In 1972, GMT was replaced by Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) as the international time reference. Nevertheless, UTC is colloquially referred to as GMT although this is technically not correct. 2.2 Ephemeris Time During the 20th century, it was found that the rotational period of Earth (length of the day) was gradually slowing down. For the purposes of orbital calculations, time using Earth’s rotation was abandoned for a more uniform time scale based on Earth’s orbit about the Sun. In 1952, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) introduced Ephemeris Time (ET) to address this problem. The ephemeris second was defined as a fraction of the tropical year for 1900 Jan 01 as calculated from Newcomb’s tables of the Sun (1895). Ephemeris Time was used for Solar System ephemeris calculations until it was replaced by TD in 1979. 2.3 Terrestrial Dynamical Time TD was introduced by the IAU in 1979 as the coordinate time scale for an observer on the surface of Earth. It takes into account relativistic effects and is based on International Atomic Time (TAI), which is a high-precision standard using several hundred atomic clocks worldwide. As such, TD is the atomic time equivalent to its predecessor ET and is used in the theories of motion for bodies in the solar system. To ensure continuity with ET, TD was defined to match ET for the date 1977 Jan 01. In 1991, the IAU refined the definition of TD to make it more precise. It was also renamed Terrestrial Time (TT), although we prefer, and use, the older name Terrestrial Dynamical Time. 2.4 Universal Time For many centuries, the fundamental unit of time was the rotational period of Earth with respect to the Sun. GMT was the standard time reference based on the mean solar time on the 0° longitude meridian in Greenwich, England. Universal Time (UT) is the modern counterpart to GMT and is determined from Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations of the diurnal motion of quasars. Unfortunately, UT is not a uniform time scale because Earth’s rotational period is (on average) gradually increasing. The change is primarily due to tidal friction between Earth’s oceans and its rocky mantle through the gravitational attraction of the Moon and, to a lesser extent, the Sun. This secular acceleration (Sect. 1.4) gradually transfers angu- a. GMT was originally reckoned from noon to noon. In 1925, some countries shifted GMT by 12 h so that it would begin at Greenwich midnight. This new definition is the one in common usage for world time and in the navigational publications of English-speaking countries. The designation Greenwich Mean Astronomical Time (GMAT) is reserved for the reckoning of time from noon (and previously called GMT). 9 Five Millennium Catalog of Solar Eclipses: –1999 to +3000 (2000 BCE to 3000 CE) lar momentum from Earth to the Moon. As Earth loses energy and slows down, the Moon gains this energy and its orbital period and distance from Earth increase. Shorter period fluctuations in terrestrial rotation also exist, which can produce an accumulated clock error of ±20 s in one or more decades. These decade variations are attributed to several geophysical mechanisms including fluid interactions between the core and mantle of Earth. Climatological changes and variations in sea-level may also play significant roles because they alter Earth’s moment of inertia. The secular acceleration of the Moon implies an increase in the length of day (LOD) of about 2.3 milliseconds per century. Such a small amount may seem insignificant, but it has very measurable cumulative effects. At this rate, time as measured through Earth’s rotation is losing about 84 seconds per century squared when compared to atomic time. 2.5 Coordinated Universal Time Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the present day basis of all civilian time throughout the world. Derived from TAI, the length of the UTC second is defined in terms of an atomic transition of the element cesium and is accurate to approximately 1 ns (billionth of a second) per day. Because most daily life is still organized around the solar day, UTC was defined to closely parallel Universal Time. The two time systems are intrinsically incompatible, however, because UTC is uniform while UT is based on Earth’s rotation, which is gradually slowing. In order to keep the two times within 0.9 s of each other, a leap second is added to UTC about once every 12 to 18 months. 2.6 Delta T (∆T) The orbital positions of the Sun and Moon required by eclipse predictions, are calculated using TD because it is a uniform time scale. World time zones and daily life, however, are based on UTa. In order to convert eclipse predictions from TD to UT, the difference between these two time scales must be known. The parameter delta-T (∆T) is the arithmetic difference, in seconds, between the two as: ∆T = TD – UT. (2–1) Past values of ∆T can be deduced from the historical records. In particular, hundreds of eclipse observations (both solar and lunar) were recorded in early European, Middle Eastern, and Chinese annals, manuscripts, and canons. In spite of their relatively low precision, these data represent the only evidence for the value of ∆T prior to 1600 CE. In the centuries following the introduction of the telescope (circa 1609 CE), thousands of high quality observations have been made of lunar occultations of stars. The number and accuracy of these timings increase from the 17th through the 20th century, affording valuable data in the determination of ∆T. A detailed analysis of these measurements fitted with cubic splines for ∆T from –500 to +1950 is presented in Table 2-1 and includes the standard error for each value (Morrison and Stephenson, 2004). a. World time zones are actually based on UTC. It is an atomic time synchronized and adjusted to stay within 0.9 s of astronomically determined UT. Occasionally, a “leap second” is added to UTC to keep it in sync with UT (which changes because of variations in Earth’s rotation rate). 10 Fred Espenak and Jean Meeus Table 2-1.

Table 2-2 gives the value of ∆T every five years from 1955 to 2005 (Astronomical Almanac for 2006 [2004], page K9). 11 Five Millennium Catalog of Solar Eclipses: –1999 to +3000 (2000 BCE to 3000 CE) Table 2-2. Recent Values of ∆T from Direct Observations Year 1955.0 1960.0 1965.0 1970.0 1975.0 1980.0 1985.0 1990.0 1995.0 2000.0 2005.0 ∆T (seconds) +31.1 +33.2 +35.7 +40.2 +45.5 +50.5 +54.3 +56.9 +60.8 +63.8 +64.7 5-Year Change (seconds) — 2.1 2.5 4.5 5.3 5.0 3.8 2.6 3.9 3.0 0.9 Average 1-Year Change (seconds) — 0.42 0.50 0.90 1.06 1.00 0.76 0.52 0.78 0.60 0.18 The average annual change of ∆T was 0.99 s from 1965 to 1980, however, the average annual increase was just 0.63 s from 1985 to 2000, and only 0.18 s from 2000 to 2005. Future changes and trends in ∆T can not be predicted with certainty because theoretical models of the physical causes are not of high enough precision. Extrapolations from the table weighted by the long period trend from tidal braking of the Moon offer reasonable estimates of +67 s in 2010, +93 s in 2050, +203 s in 2100, and +442 s in 2200. Outside the period of observations (500 BCE to 2005 CE), the value of ∆T can be extrapolated from measured values using the long-term mean parabolic trend: ∆T = –20 + 32 u 2 s, (2–2) where u = (year – 1820)/100, and is defined as time measured in centuries. 2.7 Polynomial Expressions for ∆T Using the ∆T values derived from the historical record and from direct observations (Tables 2-1 and 2-2, respectively), a series of polynomial expressions have been created to simplify the evaluation of ∆T for any time during the interval –1999 to +3000. We define the decimal year “y” as follows: y = year + (month – 0.5)/12. (2–3) This gives y for the middle of the month, which is accurate enough given the precision in the known values of ∆T. The following polynomial expressions can be used to calculate the value of ∆T (in seconds) over the interval of the Five Millennium Catalog of Solar Eclipses (referred to hereafter simply as the Catalog). Before the year –500, calculate where u = (y – 1820)/100. ∆T = –20 + 32 u2,  (2–4) 12 Fred Espenak and Jean Meeus Between years –500 and +500, we use the data from Table 2-1, except that for the year –500 we changed the value 17,190 to 17,203.7 in order to avoid a discontinuity with the previous formula (11) at that epoch. The value for ∆T is given by a polynomial of the 6th degree, which reproduces the values in Table 2-1 with an error not larger than 4 s: ∆T = 10583.6 – 1014.41 u + 33.78311 u2 – 5.952053 u3 –0.1798452 u4 + 0.022174192 u5 + 0.0090316521 u6  (2–5) where u = y/100. Between years 500 and 1600, we again use the data from Table 2-1. Calculate u = (y – 1000)/100. The value for ∆T is given by the following polynomial of the 6th degree with a divergence from Table 2-1 not larger than 4 s: ∆T = 1574.2 – 556.01 u + 71.23472 u2 + 0.319781 u3 – 0.8503463 u4 – 0.005050998 u5 + 0.0083572073 u6, (2–6) where u = (y – 1000)/100. Between years 1600 and 1700, calculate ∆T = 120 – 0.9808 t – 0.01532 t2 + (t3 / 7129), (2–7) where t = y – 1600, and is defined as time measured in years. Between years 1700 and 1800, calculate ∆T = 8.83 + 0.1603 t – 0.0059285 t2 + 0.00013336 t3 – (t4 / 1,174,000),  (2–8) where t = y – 1700. Between years +1800 and +1860, calculate ∆T = 13.72 – 0.332447 t + 0.0068612 t2 + 0.0041116 t3 – 0.00037436 t4 + 0.0000121272 t5 – 0.0000001699 t6 + 0.000000000875 t7, (2–9) where t = y – 1800. Between years 1860 and 1900, calculate ∆T = 7.62 + 0.5737 t – 0.251754 t2 + 0.01680668 t3 –0.0004473624 t4 +(t5 / 233,174), (2–10) where t = y – 1860. Between years 1900 and 1920, calculate ∆T = –2.79 + 1.494119 t – 0.0598939 t2 + 0.0061966 t3 – 0.000197 t4, where t = y – 1900. (2–11) Between years 1920 and 1941, calculate ∆T = 21.20 + 0.84493 t – 0.076100 t2 + 0.0020936 t3, (2–12) 13 Five Millennium Catalog of Solar Eclipses: –1999 to +3000 (2000 BCE to 3000 CE) where t = y – 1920. Between years 1941 and 1961, calculate ∆T = 29.07 + 0.407 t – (t2/233) + (t3 / 2547), where t = y – 1950. Between years 1961 and 1986, calculate ∆T = 45.45 + 1.067 t – (t 2/260) – (t 3 / 718), where t = y – 1975. Between years 1986 and 2005, calculate ∆T = 63.86 + 0.3345 t – 0.060374 t 2 + 0.0017275 t 3 + 0.000651814 t 4 + 0.00002373599 t 5, where t = y – 2000. Between years 2005 and 2050, calculate ∆T = 62.92 + 0.32217 t + 0.005589 t 2, where t = y – 2000. (2–13) (2–14) (2–15) (2–16) This expression is derived from estimated values of ∆T in the years 2010 and 2050. The value for 2010 (66.9 s) is based on a linear extrapolation from 2005 using 0.39 s/y (average from 1995 to 2005a). The value for 2050 (93 s) is linearly extrapolated from 2010 using 0.66 s/y (average rate from 1901 to 2000). Between years 2050 and 2150, calculate ∆T = –20 + 32 [(y – 1820)/100]2 – 0.5628 (2150 – y). (2–17) The last term is introduced to eliminate the discontinuity at 2050. After 2150, calculate ∆T = –20 + 32 u2, (2–18) where u = (y – 1820)/100. All values of ∆T, based on Morrison and Stephenson (2004), assume a value for the Moon’s secular acceleration of –26 arcsec/cy2. However, the ELP-2000/82 lunar ephemeris employed in the Catalog uses a slightly different value of –25.858 arcsec/cy2. Thus, a small correction “c” must be added to the values derived from the polynomial expressions for ∆T before they can be used in the Catalog: c = –­ 0.000012932 (y – 1955)2. (2–19) a. Although ∆T values are available through 2008, the 2005 value is used here to be consistent with the values used in the Five Millennium Canon of Solar Eclipses: –1999 to +2000, NASA Tech. Pub. 2006–214141 (Espenak and Meeus, 2006). 14 Fred Espenak and Jean Meeus Because the values of ∆T for the interval 1955 to 2005 were derived independent of any lunar ephemeris, no correction is needed for this period. 2.8 Uncertainty in ∆T The uncertainty in the value of ∆T is of particular interest in the calculation of eclipse paths in the distant past and future. Unfortunately, estimating the standard error in ∆T prior to 1600 CE is a difficult problem. It depends on a number of factors which include the accuracy of determining ∆T from historical eclipse records and modeling the physical processes producing changes in Earth’s rotation. Morrison and Stephenson (2004) propose a simple parabolic relation to estimate the standard error (σ), which is valid over the period 1000 BCE to 1200 CE: σ = 0.8 t 2 s, (2–20) where t = (year – 1820)/100. Table 2-3 gives the errors in ∆T along with the corresponding uncertainties in the longitude of an eclipse path. Table 2-3. Uncertainty of ∆T, Part I Year –1000 –500 0 +500 +1000 +1200 σ (seconds) 636 431 265 139 54 31 Longitude 2.65° 1.79° 1.10° 0.58° 0.22° 0.13° The decade fluctuations in ∆T result in an uncertainty of approximately 20 s (0.08°) for the period 1300 to 1600 CE. During the telescopic era (1600 CE to present), records of astronomical observations pin down the decade fluctuations with increasing reliability. The uncertainties in ∆T are presented in Table 2-4 (Stephenson and Houlden, 1986). Table 2-4. Uncertainty of ∆T, Part II Year +1700 +1800 +1900 σ (seconds) 5 1 0.1 Longitude 0.021° 0.004° 0.0004° The estimation in the uncertainty of ∆T prior to 1000 BCE must rely on a certain amount of modeling and theoretical arguments because no measurements of ∆T are available for this period. Huber (2000) proposed a Brownian motion model including drift to estimate the standard error in ∆T for periods outside the epoch of measured values. The intrinsic variability in the LOD during the 2,500 years of observations (500 BCE to 2000 CE) is 1.780 ms/cy with a standard error of 0.56 ms/cy. This rate is not due entirely to tidal friction, but includes a drift in LOD from imperfectly understood effects, such as changes in sea level due to variations in polar ice caps. Presumably, the same mechanisms operating during the present era also operated prior to 1000 BCE, as well as one millennium into the future. 15 Five Millennium Catalog of Solar Eclipses: –1999 to +3000 (2000 BCE to 3000 CE) Huber’s derived estimate for the total standard error (fluctuations plus drift) in ∆T is as follows. σ = 365.25  N SQRT [(N Q / 3) ( 1 + N / M)] / 1000, (2–21) where: N = Difference between target year and calibration year; M = 2500 years (–500 to +2000)—this covers the period of observed ∆T measurements; and Q = 0.058 ms2/yr. The calibration year is taken as –500 for target years before 500 BCE, while the calibration year is 2005 CE for target years in the future. Evaluation of this expression at 500-year intervals is found in Table 2-5. It shows estimates in the standard error of ∆T along with the equivalent shift in longitude. Table 2-5.

It is then possible for the Moon’s penumbral, umbral, or antumbral shadows to sweep across Earth’s surface thereby producing an eclipse. There are four types of solar eclipses: 1) Partial—Moon’s penumbral shadow traverses Earth (umbral and antumbral shadows completely miss Earth) 2) Annular—Moon’s antumbral shadow traverses Earth (Moon is too far from Earth to completely cover the Sun) 3) Total—Moon’s umbral shadow traverses Earth (Moon is close enough to Earth to completely cover the Sun) 4) Hybrid—Moon’s umbral and antumbral shadows traverse Earth (eclipse appears annular and total along different sections of its path). Hybrid eclipses are also known as annular-total eclipses. During the 5000-year period from –1999 to +3000 (2000 BCE to 3000 CE), Earth will experience 11,898 eclipses of the Sun. The statistical distribution of the four basic eclipse types over this interval is shown in Table 3-1. Table 3-1. Distribution of Basic Eclipse Types Eclipse Type All Eclipses Partial Annular Total Hybrid Abbreviation — P A T H Number 11,898 4,200 3,956 3,173 569 Percent 100.0% 35.3% 33.2% 26.7% 4.8% All partial eclipses are events in which some portion of the Moon’s penumbral shadow passes across Earth’s surface. In comparison all annular, total, and hybrid eclipses can be characterized as events in which some portion of the Moon’s umbral and/or antumbral shadow crosses Earth. In the case of umbral or antumbral eclipses (annular, total, or hybrid), they can be further categorized as: a) Central (two limits)—The central axis of the Moon’s umbral or antumbral shadow traverses Earth, thereby producing a central line in the eclipse track. The umbra or antumbra falls entirely upon Earth producing a ground track with both a northern and southern limit. b) Central (one limit)—The central axis of the Moon’s umbral or antumbral shadow traverses Earth, however, a portion of the umbra or antumbra misses Earth throughout the eclipse, thereby producing a ground track with just one limit. c) Non-Central—The central axis of the Moon’s umbral or antumbral shadow misses Earth, however, one edge of the umbra or antumbra grazes Earth, thereby producing a ground track with one limit and no central line. Using the above categories, the distribution of the 3,956 annular eclipses is shown in Table 3-2. 17 Five Millennium Catalog of Solar Eclipses: –1999 to +3000 (2000 BCE to 3000 CE) Table 3-2.

Some examples of non-central annular eclipses are: 1950 Mar 18, 1957 Apr 30, 2014 Apr 29, and 2043 Oct 03. Similarly, the distribution of the 3,173 total eclipses is shown in Table 3-3. Table 3-3. Statistics of Total Eclipses Total Eclipses All Total Eclipses Central (two limits) Central (one limit) Non-Central (one limit) Number 3,173 3,121 26 26 Percent 100.0% 98.4% 0.8% 0.8% Examples of central total eclipses with one limit include: 1494 Mar 07, 1523 Aug 11, 2185 Jul 26, and 2195 Aug 05. The most recent examples of non-central total eclipses are: 1957 Oct 23, 1967 Nov 02, 2043 Apr 09, and 2459 Jun 01. All 569 hybrid eclipses are central with two limits. Hybrid eclipses with a single limit (both central and non-central) are exceedingly rare. An estimate of the mean frequency of non-central hybrid eclipses is one out of every 600 million eclipses or once every 250 million years (Meeus, 2002a). Hybrid eclipses are not uniformly distributed in time. Their frequency is modulated by a sinusoidal cycle lasting approximately seventeen centuries. During some periods (e.g., 1001 to 1800 CE), there are 15 to 24 hybrid eclipses per century. At other epochs (e.g., 2201 to 2800 CE), the number of hybrids can drop below 5 eclipses per century. Most hybrid eclipses are of class 1 in which the central path of begins annular, changes to total, and then reverts back to annular (ATA). In class 2 hybrids, the eclipse begins as total and end as annular (TA). Finally, class 3 hybrid eclipses begin as annular and end as total (AT). Eclipses of class 1 (ATA) are referred to as symmetric hybrids while classes 2 (TA) and 3 (AT) are asymmetric hybrids. Asymmetric hybrids always occur when the vertex of the Moon’s umbral shadow passes through Earth’s fundamental plane during the eclipse. The symmetric class 1 type occurs in 519 out of the 569 hybrid eclipses in the Catalog. Table 3-4 lists the distribution of the three hybrid eclipse classes. Table 3-4.

Examples of the relatively rare TA hybrid eclipse are: 1564 Jun 08, 1703 Jan 17, 1825 Dec 09, and 2386 Apr 29. Finally, some examples of the rare AT hybrid eclipse include: 1489 Jun 28, 1854 Nov 20, 2013 Nov 03, and 2172 Oct 17. Symmetric hybrid eclipses of class 1 (ATA) are listed in the Catalog simply as eclipse type H, while the asymmetric hybrid classes 2 (TA) and 3 (AT) are shown as H2 and H3, respectively. 3.2 Distribution of Eclipse Types by Century Table 3-5 summarizes 5,000 years of eclipses by eclipse type in 100-year intervals. The number of central and noncentral (in square brackets) events are given for annular and total eclipses. The number of eclipses in any one century ranges from 222 to 255 with an average of 238.0. Over the 1,000-year interval of 1501 to 2500 CE (centered on the present era), the average is 238.9 eclipses per century. Some remarkable patterns are present in this table. There exists a cyclical variation in the number of eclipses per century with a length of a little under six centuries, giving alternating “rich” and “poor” periods (Meeus, 1997). The 20th and 21st centuries (1901–2100) are poor periods, with only 228 and 224 eclipses, respectively. This cycle is also present when only central eclipses are considered. The cycle appears to have a period of approximately 600 years with an amplitude of ~30 eclipses. This is close to a known eclipse period called the “tetradia,” which has a period of 586.02 years. The tetradia governs the recurrence of tetrads or groups of four successive total lunar eclipses each separated by six lunations. The tetradia cycle for lunar eclipse tetrads appears to be 180 degrees out of phase with the cycle for solar eclipses. When there are many tetrads, there are fewer solar eclipses. We are currently in a tetrad-rich period with tetrads in 2003 to 2004, 2014 to 2015, and 2032 to 2033. The number of hybrid solar eclipses per century also varies cyclically with a period of approximately 17 centuries. Table 3-5.

The first value in each column is the number of eclipses of a given type for the corresponding month. The second number in square brackets [ ] is the number of eclipses divided by the number of days in that month. This normalization allows direct comparison of eclipse frequencies in different months. A brief examination of the values in the column “Number of All Eclipses” shows that eclipses are equally distributed around the year. The same holds true for partial eclipses; however, the columns for annular and total eclipses reveal something interesting. Annular eclipses are 1 1/3 times more likely during the period of November–December– January compared to the months May–June–July. This effect is attributed to Earth’s elliptical orbit. Earth currently reaches perihelion in early January and aphelion in early July. Consequently, the Sun’s apparent diameter varies from 1,952 to 1,887 arcsec between perihelion and aphelion. The Sun’s larger apparent diameter at perihelion makes annular eclipses more frequent at that time. The opposite argument holds true for total eclipses which are nearly 1 1/2 times more likely during the period May–June–July compared to the months November–December–January. In this case, the Sun’s smaller apparent size around aphelion increases the frequency of total eclipses at that time. Total eclipses actually outnumber annular eclipses during the season May–June–July (Meeus, 2002b). Table 3-6.

When three eclipses occur in one calendar year, there are 14 possible combinations of P, A, T, or H. Table 3-9 lists the frequency of each eclipse combination along with five recent years when each combination occurs. The table makes no distinction in the order of eclipses in any combination. For example, the eclipse combination PAT includes all years where the order is PAT, PTA, APT, ATP, TAP, and TPA.

When years are enclosed in square brackets [ ], they include all examples in 5,000 years. 23 Five Millennium Catalog of Solar Eclipses: –1999 to +3000 (2000 BCE to 3000 CE) The maximum number of five solar eclipses in one calendar year is quite rare. Over the 5,000-year span of the Catalog, there are only 25 years containing five solar eclipses. They occur in three possible combinations of eclipse types where four out of the five eclipses are always of type P. The first eclipse of such a quintet always occurs in the first half of January, while the last eclipse falls in the latter half of December. Table 3-11 lists all 25 years containing five eclipses along with their eclipse combinations and frequencies. The rarest combination—PPPPH—occurred only once in year –1852 (1853 BCE). Once again, the table makes no distinction in the order of eclipses in any combination. Table 3-11.

It reaches a maximum value at the instant of greatest eclipse. A search through the 11,898 eclipses in the Catalog reveals some interesting cases involving extreme values of the eclipse magnitude. Thirteen partial eclipses have a maximum magnitude less than 0.005 (Table 3-12). These events are all the first or last members in a Saros series. The smallest magnitude was the partial eclipse of –1838 Apr 04 with a magnitude of just 0.00002. Table 3-12.

These eclipses all take place when Earth is near the aphelion of its orbit (June to July), resulting in a smaller than normal diameter of the solar disk. The total eclipse with the longest duration of totality occurs on 2186 Jul 16. Its central duration of 7 min 29 s is very close to the theoretical maximum of 7 min 32.1 s during that epoch. All 44 eclipses belong to just 12 Saros series. Note that the eclipses of 1937, 1955, and 1973 all belong to Saros 136. This is the same Saros producing the 6+ min eclipses in 1991, 2009, and 2027. 29 Five Millennium Catalog of Solar Eclipses: –1999 to +3000 (2000 BCE to 3000 CE) Table 3-21.

Although the maximum theoretical duration differs between the ascending and descending nodes, the durations are equal in the year +1246 because the Sun’s perihelion then coincides with longitude 270°. Table 3-23 lists the maximum duration theoretically possible over the period –2000 to +7000 (Meeus, 2007). The values here are 0.2 s smaller than those in Meeus because of the use of a slightly larger value for the Moon’s radius k (Sect. 1.5). Table 3-23.

An inflexion point occurs between the years +6000 and +7000, when the maximum possible durations increase once again. All calculations in the Catalog use the same mean lunar radius “k” for both annular and total eclipses (Sect. 1.5). Consequently, the annular durations are extended several seconds because they include the appearance of Baily’s beadsa at the start and end of the antumbral phase. 3.13 Theoretical Maximum Duration of Totality The theoretical maximum duration of a total solar eclipse for a point on Earth’s surface slowly varies with time. This effect is due to long term secular changes in the eccentricity of Earth’s orbit and the longitude of its perihelion. That eccentricity is now 0.01671, but at some epochs in the distant past or future the orbit was (will be) almost exactly circular, and at other times the eccentricity can be as large as 0.06. Table 3-24 lists the maximum duration theoretically possible over the period –2000 to +7000 (Meeus 2003). The values here are 0.1 to 0.2 s larger than those in Meeus because of the use of a slightly larger value for the Moon’s radius k (Sect. 1.5). Table 3-24. Theoretical Maximum Duration of Totality Year –2000 –1000 0000 +1000 +2000 +3000 +4000 +5000 +6000 +7000 Duration at Ascending Node 7m 07.4s 7m 19.1s 7m 27.4s 7m 31.9s 7m 32.3s 7m 28.8s 7m 22.1s 7m 12.9s 7m 03.3s 7m 01.9s Duration at Descending Node 7m 29.8s 7m 34.6s 7m 36.0s 7m 33.6s 7m 27.1s 7m 17.1s 7m 04.0s 6m 48.7s 6m 32.5s 6m 32.8s The absolute maximum of 7 min 36.1 s occurred at the Moon’s descending node about the year –0120. Prior to –2000, there must have been epochs when the maximum possible duration was even larger due to an even greater value of the eccentricity of Earth’s orbit. 3.14 Solar Eclipse Duos A duo is a pair of eclipses separated by one lunation (synodic month). Of the 11,898 eclipses in the Catalog, 2,722 eclipses (22.9%) belong to a duo. In most cases, both eclipses in a duo are partial eclipses, however, there are 14 instances in the Catalog where one eclipse is partial and the other is total. The dates and eclipse combinations are listed in Table 3-25. a. Baily’s beads are caused by the appearance of small points of sunlight shining through deep valleys along the Moon’s limb at the start and end of the annular or total phase. 32 Fred Espenak and Jean Meeus Table 3-25.

Because this is longer than the month of February, it is possible to have one member of an eclipse duo in January followed by the second in March. There are four instances of such a rare January/March duo in the Catalog: –1881, –1295, 1291, and 1794. In all cases, both eclipses in the duos are partial. 33 Five Millennium Catalog of Solar Eclipses: –1999 to +3000 (2000 BCE to 3000 CE) 3.17 Solar Eclipses on February 29 There are nine instances of a solar eclipse occurring on February 29.

The Sun makes one complete circuit of the ecliptic in 365.24 days, so its average angular velocity is 0.99° per day. At this rate, it takes 34.5 days for the Sun to cross the 34° wide eclipse zone centered on each node. Because the Moon’s orbit with respect to the Sun has a mean duration of 29.53 days, there will always be one and possibly two solar eclipses during each 34.5-day interval when the Sun passes through the nodal eclipse zones. These time periods are called eclipse seasons. The mid-point of each eclipse season is separated by 173.3 days because this is the mean time for the Sun to travel from one node to the next. The period is a little less that half a calendar year because the lunar nodes slowly regress westward by 19.3° per year. 3.19 Quincena The mean time interval between New Moon and Full Moon is 14.77 days. This is less than half the duration of an eclipse season. As a consequence, the same Sun–node alignment geometry responsible for producing a solar eclipse always results in a complementary lunar eclipse within a fortnight. The lunar eclipse may either precede or succeed the solar eclipse. In either case, the pair of eclipses is referred to here as a quincena.b The QLE (Quincena Lunar Eclipse parameter) identifies the type of the lunar eclipse and whether it precedes or succeeds a particular solar eclipse. There are three basic types of lunar eclipses: 1) n = penumbral lunar eclipse (Moon partly or completely within Earth’s penumbral shadow) 2) p = partial lunar eclipse (Moon partly within Earth’s umbral shadow) 3) t = total lunar eclipse (Moon completely within Earth’s umbral shadow) a. The actual value ranges from 15.3° to 18.5° of a node because of the eccentricity of the Moon’s (and Earth’s) orbit. b. Quincena is a Spanish word for a period of about 15 days. 34 Fred Espenak and Jean Meeus The QLE is a two character string consisting of one or more of the above lunar eclipse types. The first character in the QLE identifies a lunar eclipse preceding a solar eclipse while the second character identifies a lunar eclipse succeeding a solar eclipse. In most instances, one of the two characters is “-” indicating a single lunar eclipse either precedes or succeeds the solar eclipse. On rare occasions, a double quincena occurs in which a solar eclipse is both preceded and succeeded by lunar eclipses. 3.20 Quincena Combinations with Total Solar Eclipses A total solar eclipse can be preceded or succeeded by a total lunar eclipse (8.8%), a partial lunar eclipse (49.8%), or a penumbral lunar eclipse (28.2%). Double quincenas (a solar eclipse is both preceded and succeeded by a lunar eclipse) occur with a frequency of 13.1% and always consist of two penumbral lunar eclipses. A detailed list of total solar eclipse and quincena lunar eclipse combinations appears in Table 3-28.

Thus, the Moon’s centerto-center distance from Earth varies with mean values of 363,396 km at perigee to 405,504 km at apogee. The lunar orbital period with respect to the stars (sidereal month) is 27.32166 days (27d 07h 43m 12s). However, there are three other orbital periods or months that are crucial to the understanding and prediction of eclipses. These three cycles and the harmonics between them determine when, where, and how solar (and lunar) eclipses occur. The mutual gravitational force between the Sun and Moon is over twice as large as between the Moon and Earth. For this reason, the Sun plays a dominant role in perturbing the Moon’s motion. The ever changing distances and relative positions between the Sun, Moon, and Earth, the inclination of the Moon’s orbit, the oblateness of Earth, and (to a lesser extent) the gravitational attraction of the other planets all act to throw the Moon’s orbital parameters into a constant state of change. Although the Moon’s position and velocity can be described by the classic Keplerian orbital elements, such osculating elements are only valid for a single instant in time (Chapront-Touze’ and Chapront, 1991). Nevertheless, these instantaneous parameters are of value in understanding the Moon’s complex motions particularly with respect to the three major orbital cycles that govern eclipses. 4.2 Synodic Month The most familiar lunar cycle is the synodic month because it governs the well-known cycle of the Moon’s phases. The Moon has no light of its own but shines by reflected sunlight. As a consequence, the geometry of its orbital position relative to the Sun and Earth determines the Moon’s apparent phase. The mean length of the synodic month is 29.53059 days (29d 12h 44m 03s). This is nearly 2.21 days longer than the sidereal month. As the Moon revolves around Earth, both objects also progress in orbit around the Sun. After completing one revolution with respect to the stars, the Moon must continue a little farther along its orbit to catch up to the same position it started from relative to the Sun and Earth. This explains why the mean synodic month is longer than the sidereal month. According to astronomical convention, New Moon is defined as the instant when the geocentric ecliptic longitudes of the Sun and Moon are equal. When the synodic month is measured from New Moon to New Moon, it is sometimes referred to as a lunation, and we will follow that usage here. Historically, the phases of the Moon have been used as the basis of lunar calendars by many cultures around the world. The major problem with such calendars is that the year, based on the solar calendar, is not evenly divisible by a whole number of lunations. Consequently, most lunar calendars are actually lunisolar calendars (e.g., Chinese, Hebrew, and Hindu) that include intercalary months to keep the seasons in step with the year. The duration of the lunation actually varies from its mean value by up to seven hours. For instance, Table 4-1 contains details for all lunations in 2008. The first column lists the decimal date of every New Moon throughout the year (Terrestrial Dynamical Time), while the second column gives the duration of each lunation. The third column is the difference between the actual and mean lunation. The first lunation of the year (Jan 08) was 03h 23m longer than the mean. Continuing through 2008, the length of each lunation drops and reaches a minimum of 05h 48m shorter than the mean value (Jun 03). The duration now increases with each succeeding lunation until the maximum value of the year is reached of 06h 49m longer than the mean (Dec 27). 37 Five Millennium Catalog of Solar Eclipses: –1999 to +3000 (2000 BCE to 3000 CE) Table 4-1 New Moon and Lunation Length in 2008 Date of New Moon Length of Lunation Difference From Moon’s (Dynamical Time) Mean Lunation True Anomaly 2008 Jan 08.4849 29d 16h 07m +03h 23m 242.4° 2008 Feb 07.1567 29d 13h 30m +00h 46m 280.0° 2008 Mar 07.7190 29d 10h 41m –02h 03m 310.8° 2008 Apr 06.1642 29d 08h 23m –04h 21m 332.7° 2008 May 05.5134 29d 07h 04m –05h 40m 349.4° 2008 Jun 03.8081 29d 06h 56m –05h 48m 4.4° 2008 Jul 03.0970 29d 07h 54m –04h 50m 20.1° 2008 Aug 01.4261 29d 09h 45m –02h 59m 39.2° 2008 Aug 30.8327 29d 12h 14m –00h 30m 64.9° 2008 Sep 29.3426 29d 15h 02m +02h 18m 98.7° 2008 Oct 28.9687 29d 17h 41m +04h 57m 133.4° 2008 Nov 27.7053 29d 19h 28m +06h 44m 161.9° 2008 Dec 27.5163 29d 19h 33m +06h 49m 186.6° What is the cause of this odd behavior? The last column in Table 4-1 gives a clue; it contains the Moon’s true anomaly at the instant of New Moon. The true anomaly is the angle between the Moon’s position and the point of perigee along its orbit. In other words, it is the orbital longitude of the Moon with respect to perigee. Table 4-1 shows that when New Moon occurs near perigee (true anomaly = 0°), the length of the lunation is at a minimum (e.g., Jun 03). Similarly, when New Moon occurs near apogee (true anomaly = 180°), the length of the lunation reaches a maximum (e.g., Dec 27). This relationship is quite apparent when viewed graphically. Figure 4-1 plots the difference from mean lunation (histogram) and the Moon’s true anomaly (diagonal curves) for every New Moon from 2008 through 2010. The left-hand scale is for the difference from mean lunation, while the right-hand scale is for the true anomaly. The shortest lunations are clearly correlated with New Moon at perigee, while the longest lunations occur at apogee. From the figure, the length of this cycle appears to be about 412 days. The reason why must wait until the next section. The Moon’s orbital period with respect to perigee is the anomalistic month and has a duration of approximately 27.55 days. The lock-step rhythm between the lunation length and true anomaly can be explained with the help of the anomalistic month and Figure 4-2. It illustrates the Moon’s orbit around Earth and Earth’s orbit around the Sun. The relative sizes and distances of the Sun, Moon, and Earth as well as the eccentricity of the Moon’s orbit are all exaggerated for clarity. The major axis of the Moon’s orbit marks the positions of perigee and apogee. 38 Fred Espenak and Jean Meeus Figure 4–1: Length of Lunation for 2008 – 2010 8 6 4 difference from mean lunation 2 Difference from Mean Lunation (hours) [mean = 29d 12h 440m 03s] -2 -4 -6 -8 2008 True Anomaly at New Moon 2009 Year 2010 360° 270° True Ano1m80a°ly at New Moon 90° 0° 2011 Figure 4–2: Moon's Orbit and the Synodic Month Orbit of Earth Case 2: New Moon Near Apogee Case 1: New Moon Near Perigee Orbit of Moon A Earth Moon a1 New Moon B b2 New Moon b b1 Sun d1 d d2 New Moon c1 New Moon (DLiriencetioonfoAf pPseirdigeees) D C Two distinct cases—each consisting of two revolutions of the Moon around Earth—are depicted in Figure 4-2. The first case covers the New Moon geometry around perigee. The orbit marked A shows New Moon taking place near perigee at position a1. One anomalistic month later (orbit B), the Moon has returned to the same position relative to perigee (marked b1). However, Earth has traveled about 30° around its orbit so the Sun’s direction relative to the Moon’s major axis has shifted. The Moon must travel an additional distance of Δb in its orbit before reaching the New Moon phase at b2. This graphically demonstrates why the synodic month is longer (~1.98 days) than the anomalistic month. 39 Five Millennium Catalog of Solar Eclipses: –1999 to +3000 (2000 BCE to 3000 CE) The second case takes place about half a year later. New Moon then occurs near apogee (orbit C, position c1). After one anomalistic month, the Moon has returned to the same location with respect to apogee (orbit D, position d1). Once again, Earth has traveled about 30° around its orbit so the Moon must revolve an additional distance of Δd before reaching the New Moon phase at position d2. An inspection of orbits B and D reveals that the orbital arc Δd is longer that Δb. This means that the Moon must cover a greater orbital distance to reach New Moon near apogee as compared to perigee. Furthermore, the Moon’s orbital velocity is slower at apogee so it takes longer to travel a given distance. Thus, the length of the lunation is shorter than average when New Moon occurs near perigee and longer than average when New Moon occurs near apogee. Earth’s elliptical orbit around the Sun also factors into the length of the lunation. With an eccentricity of 0.0167, Earth’s orbit is about one third as elliptical as the Moon’s orbit. Nevertheless, it affects the length of the lunation by producing shorter lunations near aphelion and longer lunations near perihelion. During the 5000-year period covered in this catalog, there are 61841 complete lunations. The shortest lunation began on –1602 Jun 03 and lasted 29.26574 days (29d 06h 22m 40s; 6h 21m 23s shorter than the mean). The longest lunation began on –1868 Nov 27 and lasted 29.84089 days (29d 20h 10m 53s; 7h 26m 50s longer than the mean). Thus, the duration of the lunation varies over a range of 13h 48m 13s during this time interval. The histogram presented in Figure 4-3 shows the distribution in the length of the lunation over 5000 years. To create the histogram, the durations of individual lunations were binned into 30-minute groups. It might seem reasonable to expect a simple bell-shaped Gaussian curve. However, the results are surprising because the distribution in lunation length has two distinct peaks. This bifurcation can be understood if the lunation length, which depends primarily on the Moon’s distance, is considered as a series of sine functions. The extremes of a sine function always occur more frequently than the mean, which is just what is seen in Figure 4-3. For a more detailed discussion, see Meeus (1997). Figure 4–3: Length of Lunation Over 5000 Years 2000 61,841 Lunations from 2000 BCE to 3000 CE 1500 1000 500 Mean Lunation 29d 12h 44m 03s 0 -8 -6 -4 -2 0 2 4 6 8 Difference from Mean Lunation (hours) [mean = 29d 12h 44m 03s] 40 Number 4.3 Anomalistic Month Fred Espenak and Jean Meeus The anomalistic month is defined as the revolution of the Moon around its elliptical orbit as measured from perigee to perigee. The length of this period can vary by several days from its mean value of 27.55455 days (27d 13h 18m 33s). Figure 4-4 plots the difference of the anomalistic month from the mean value for the 3-year interval 2008 through 2010. Also plotted is the difference between the mean longitudes of the Sun and perigee. This is just the angle between the Sun and the Moon’s major axis in the direction of perigee. The left-hand scale is the length of the anomalistic month minus the mean value, while the right-hand scale is for the difference in longitude (Sun–perigee). For comparison, the lunation length minus its mean value is also plotted (light gray). Figure 4–4: Length of Anomalistic Month for 2008 – 2010 360° difference from mean anomalistic month difference in mean longitude (Sun - Perigee) difference from mean lunation 270° Difference from Mean Anomalistic Month (days) [mean = 27d 13h 18m 33s] Difference in Me1a8n0°Longitude (Sun - Perigee) 90° 2008 2009 Year 2010 0° 2011 The variation in the length of the anomalistic month is much larger than that of the lunation. Figure 4-4 shows the anomalistic month is typically within 1 day of its mean value. But once or twice every 7 to 8 months, the anomalistic month is significantly shorter than the mean by 2 to nearly 3 days. The difference in longitude of the Sun and perigee show that the shortest anomalistic months are correlated with values of 90° and 270°, when the line of apsides is perpendicular to the Sun’s direction. In comparison, the longest anomalistic months take place when the difference in longitude passes through 0° or 180°. The line of apsides is then directed towards or away from the Sun. The maximum duration of the anomalistic month is then about 28.5 days (1.0 day longer than the mean). The Earth–Sun distance also influences the anomalistic month by causing greater extremes near perihelion. This currently occurs in early January each year. In an earlier discussion on the synodic month, it was assumed that the lunar orbit’s line of apsides has a fixed and permanent direction in space. In fact, the length of the mean anomalistic month (27.55 days) exceeds the mean sidereal month (27.32 days) by 0.23 days. Thus, the Moon’s major axis slowly shifts with a mean rate of 0.11140° per day in the direct sense, that is, in the same direction as the Moon’s orbital motion. This corresponds to an average of 40.7° per year, so it takes 8.85 years (3231.6 days) for the line of apsides to make one complete revolution with respect to the stars. What impact do the varying length of the anomalistic month and the direct (eastward) rotation of the Moon’s elliptical orbit have on the length of the lunation? To answer this, one must first consider Earth’s elliptical orbit around the Sun, which has a mean eccentricity of 0.0167. The center-to-center distance between Earth and the Sun varies with mean values of 147,098,074 km at perihelion to 152,097,701 km at aphelion. The direction of Earth’s orbital line of apsides also changes but at a rate far slower than the Moon’s. Having a direct (eastward) shift with a mean value of 41 Five Millennium Catalog of Solar Eclipses: –1999 to +3000 (2000 BCE to 3000 CE) 0.0172° per year, it takes about 20,500 years for Earth’s major axis to make one complete revolution. This is only 0.0004 of the lunar rate, so it can be treated as fixed for the purpose of the following discussion. At certain times, the perigee of the lunar orbit and the perihelion of Earth’s orbit can have the same ecliptic longitude. Ignoring the 5.1° tilt of the Moon’s obit, the major axes are then essentially parallel to each other and point in the same direction. As time passes, the major axis of the lunar orbit slowly rotates east with respect to Earth’s major axis until it becomes perpendicular to it 2.21 years later. In another 2.21 years (4.42 years from the start), the major axes of the orbits are again parallel to each other, but the perigee and the perihelion are 180° apart as they point in opposite directions. After an additional period of 2.21 years, the axes are once more perpendicular. Finally, the Moon’s perigee and Earth’s perihelion again share the same ecliptic longitude after a total interval of 8.85 years. The length of each lunation minus the mean lunation is plotted in Figure 4-5 for the 20-year period from 2008 through 2027. The periodic rhythm between the lunation length and the true anomaly, as described earlier (via Figure 4-1), can now be seen over the course of two decades. The 412-day mean period of this cycle corresponds to the time between two consecutive alignments of the major axis in the direction of the Sun. It is slightly longer than a year because of the slow eastward shift of the Moon’s major axis.

The envelope defined by the minima and maxima appears to oscillate over a range of values from ±2 h to ±6 h. This behavior is evidence revealing the influence of the 8.85-year cycle in the alignment of the major axes of the orbits of the Moon and Earth. The amplitude of the envelope is due to the eccentricity of Earth’s orbit. When Earth is at perihelion, its orbital velocity is at its maximum value so Earth travels a larger distance around its orbit in a given time as compared to aphelion. Thus, the Moon must travel a greater distance to align with the Sun, which results in a longer lunation. Near aphelion, the opposite conditions produce a shorter lunation. Using the axis scale on the right, the diagonal lines in Figure 4-5 plot the angle between the Moon’s perigee and Earth’s perihelion. This is the difference between the Moon’s mean longitude of perigee and Earth’s true longitude of perihelion. When the angle between the perigee and perihelion is 0°, the length of the lunation varies from a minimum of 29.273 days (–6.17 hours from mean) to a maximum of 29.820 days (+6.93 hours from mean). Similarly, when the angle between the perigee and perihelion is 180°, the length of the lunation varies from a minimum of 29.452 days (–1.88 hours from mean) to a maximum of 29.628 days (+2.33 hours from mean). To summarize, the greatest 42 Fred Espenak and Jean Meeus extremes in the length of the lunation occur when the longitudes of the Moon’s perigee and Earth’s perihelion are equal. The smallest extremes in the lunation length occur when their longitudes differ by 180°. Although the Moon’s major axis rotates eastward at a mean rate of 0.1114° per day, the true rate varies considerably. Figure 4-5 illustrates the variation by plotting the difference between the true longitudes of the Moon’s perigee and Earth’s perihelion. This quasi-sinusoidal oscillation about the difference in the mean longitudes shows peak departures of ±30° from average. Indeed, the Moon’s major axis can swing both east and west of its mean value, taking on an actual retrograde shift west during some anomalistic months. This dynamic behavior is due to the gravitational pull of the Sun on the Moon as it orbits Earth. Consequently, a continuous torque is applied to the lunar orbit in an unsuccessful effort to permanently align the major axis towards the Sun. The annual orbit of the Earth–Moon system around the Sun coupled with the Moon’s synodic orbit around Earth mean that the conditions for such a permanent alignment are always changing. The overall effect is to twist and distort the shape and orientation of the Moon’s elliptical orbit. It was stated earlier that the Moon’s mean orbital eccentricity is 0.0549, but this too is subject to large changes because of solar perturbations. Figure 4-6 plots the variation in the Moon’s orbital eccentricity from 2008 through 2010. The instantaneous eccentricity (light gray curve) oscillates with a period tied to the synodic month and ranges from 0.0266 to 0.0762 over this 3-year interval. Superimposed on the instantaneous eccentricity is the eccentricity at the instant of perigee, which occurs at the beginning of each anomalistic month (heavy black curve). The straight diagonal lines represent the difference between the mean longitudes of the Sun and perigee. In other words, it is the angle between the Moon’s perigee-directed major axis and the Sun. Oscillating about this line is the difference between the true longitudes of Sun and perigee. The scale for these angles appears along the right side of Figure 4-6. The extreme range of the Moon’s orbital eccentricity at perigee during the 5000 years of the catalog is 0.0255 to 0.0775. Figure 4–6: Moon's Eccentricity for 2008 – 2010 0.10 0.08 eccentricity at perigee instantaneous eccentricity 360° 270° 0.06 Eccentricity 0.04 Difference in18L0o°ngitude (Sun - Perigee) 0.02 0.00 2008 difference in mean longitude (Sun - Perigee) 2009 Year difference in true longitude (Sun - Perigee) 2010 90° 0° 2011 Figure 4-6 shows that the eccentricity reaches a maximum when the major axis of the lunar orbit is pointed directly towards or directly away from the Sun (angles of 0° and 180°, respectively). This occurs at a mean interval of 205.9 days, which is somewhat longer than half a year because of the eastward shift of the major axis. The eccentricity reaches a minimum when the major axis of the lunar orbit is perpendicular to the Sun (angles of 90° and 270°). Such changes in orbital eccentricity produce significant variations in the Moon’s distance at perigee and apogee. Figure 4-7 plots the Moon’s distance for all perigees and apogees from 2008 through 2010. Also shown is the orbital eccentricity at perigee as well as the angle between the perigee directed major axis and the Sun. The closest 43 Five Millennium Catalog of Solar Eclipses: –1999 to +3000 (2000 BCE to 3000 CE) perigee (minimum perigee distance) and farthest apogee (maximum apogee distance) occur when the eccentricity is at maximum. This corresponds to times when the Moon’s major axis points directly towards or directly away from the Sun (angles of 0° and 180°, respectively). The farthest perigee (maximum perigee distance) and closest apogee (minimum apogee distance) occur when the eccentricity is at minimum. At such times, the major axis is oriented perpendicular to the Sun. During the 3-year interval covered in Figure 4-7, the Moon’s perigee distance ranges from 356,568 to 370,216 km while the apogee distance ranges from 404,168 to 406,602 km. Figure 4–7: Perigee & Apogee for 2008 – 2010 410 apogee 400 eccentricity at perigee difference in mean longitude (Sun - Perigee) 390 360° 270° Distance of Moon 3(8x01000 km ) Difference in1L8o0n°gitude (Sun - Perigee) 370 360 350 2008 perigee 2009 Year 2010 90° 0° 2011 Over the 5000-year period of the catalog, there are 66,276 perigees and apogees. During this epoch, the distance of the Moon’s perigee varies from 356,355 to 370,399 km while the apogee varies from 404,042 to 406,725 km. The minimum and maximum extremes in orbital eccentricity are 0.0255 to 0.0775 and the extremes in the length of the anomalistic month are 24.629 days (2.925 days shorter than the mean) to 28.565 days (1.011 days longer than the mean). A histogram showing the distribution in the length of the anomalistic month is presented in Figure 4-8 where the durations of individual anomalistic months have been binned into 2-hour groups. The sharply asymmetric distribution shows that anomalistic months longer than the mean cluster over a much shorter range of values compared to anomalistic months shorter than the mean. Figure 4–8: Length of Anomalistic Month Over 5000 Years 10000 66,276 Anomalistic Months from 2000 BCE to 3000 CE 8000 Mean Anomalistic Month 27d 13h 18m 33s 6000 Number 4000 2000 0 -80 -60 -40 -20 0 20 40 Difference from Mean Anomalistic Month (hours) [mean = 27d 13h 18m 33s] 44 4.4 Draconic Month Fred Espenak and Jean Meeus The plane of the Moon’s orbit is inclined at a mean angle of 5.145° to the plane of Earth’s orbit around the Sun. The intersection of these planes defines two points or nodes on the celestial sphere. The node where the Moon’s path crosses the ecliptic from south to north is the ascending node, while the node where the Moon’s path crosses the ecliptic from north to south is the descending node. The draconic month is defined as one revolution of the Moon about its orbit with respect to the ascending node. The mean length of this nodical period is 27.21222 days (27d 05h 05m 36s). However, the actual duration can vary by over 6 h from the mean. Figure 4-9 plots the duration of the draconic month minus its mean value for 2008 through 2010. The shortest month over this 3-year period is 27.05115 days (27d 01h 14m), while the longest month is 27.38409 days (27d 09h 13m). Figure 4–9: Length of Draconic Month for 2008 – 2010 6 360° difference in 4 difference from mean draconic mean longitude (Sun - Asc. Node) month 270° 2 Difference from Mean Draconic Month (hours) [mean = 27d 05h 005m 36s] Difference in Mean L1o8n0g°itude (Sun - Ascending Node) -2 90° -4 -6 2008 2009 Year 2010 0° 2011 The most significant characteristic of this variation is that it is synchronized with the ascending node relative to the Sun’s position along the ecliptic. The mean angle between the Sun and the ascending node (i.e., difference in mean longitude) is also plotted in Figure 4-9 (diagonal lines) to illustrate this relationship. The longitude difference at the start of each draconic month is plotted as a black dot. Longitude values can be read using the scale along the right side of the figure. The longest draconic months occur when the difference in the mean longitudes of the Sun and the ascending node is either 0° or 180°. In contrast, the shortest months occur when the angle between the Sun and the ascending node is either 90° or 270°. The mean draconic month is 0.10944 day (2h 36m 36s) shorter than the sidereal month. Consequently, the lunar nodes slowly rotate west or retrograde (opposite the Moon’s orbital motion) along the ecliptic at a rate of 0.05295° per day. One complete rotation of the ascending node about the ecliptic requires 18.6 years (6793.48 days) with respect to the fixed stars. Figure 4-10 plots the instantaneous inclination of the lunar orbit over the 3-year period 2008–2010. The mean angle between the Sun and the ascending node (i.e., difference in mean longitude) is also plotted. The largest inclination of 5.30° occurs when the difference in longitude is either 0° or 180°. In other words, the inclination is always near its maximum value for both solar and lunar eclipses. The smallest inclination of 5.00° occurs when the difference in longitude is either 90° or 270°. Note the small monthly oscillations in the inclination when near its minimum. The 45 Five Millennium Catalog of Solar Eclipses: –1999 to +3000 (2000 BCE to 3000 CE) figure also plots the longitude of the instantaneous ascending node. Its westward motion draws to a near standstill whenever the Sun aligns with either of the nodes. This corresponds to a difference in longitude of either 0° or 180°. The mean interval in the periodic variation of both the draconic month and the orbital inclination is 173.3 days. This is the average time it takes for the Sun to travel from one node to the other. It is also equivalent to the interval between the midpoints of two eclipse seasons. The period is slightly less than half a year because of the retrograde motion of the nodes. Figure 4–10: Lunar Orbit Inclination for 2008 – 2010 5.4° instantaneous ascending node 360° 5.3° 270° 5.2° Inclination [mean = 5.145°] 5.1° Difference in Mean L1o8n0g°itude (Sun - Ascending Node) 5.0° 4.9° 2008 instantaneous inclnation 2009 difference in mean longitude (Sun - Asc. Node) Year 2010 90° 0° 2011 The length of the draconic month is strongly modulated by the position of the nodes with respect to the major axis of the Moon’s orbit. The histogram in Figure 4-11 shows how the draconic month changes from 2008 through 2017. The 173-day alignment of the Sun with a node appears as the rapid oscillation in the month length. The quasi-sinusoidal envelopes surrounding the minima and maxima form two longer period oscillations. Over the 10-year period covered in this figure, the minimum month duration varies from 27.089 to 27.011 days (3.0 to 4.8 hours shorter than the mean). The maximum month duration ranges from 27.261 to 27.472 days (1.2 to 6.2 hours longer than the mean). Figure 4–11: Draconic Month and Perigee for 2008 – 2017 8 360° difference from 6 mean draconic month 4 270° 2 Difference from Mean Draconic Month (hours) [mean = 27d 05h 050m 36s] Difference in Mean Lon18g0it°ude (Perigee - Ascending Node) -2 -4 -6 -8 2008 difference in mean longitude (Perigee - Asc. Node) 2013 Year 46 90° 0° 2018 Number Fred Espenak and Jean Meeus The difference in the mean longitudes of perigee and the ascending node appear as diagonal lines in Figure 4-11. This is the angle between these orbital parameters measured along the ecliptic. The greatest extremes in the draconic month occur when the angle between perigee and the ascending node is 0°. Likewise, the smallest extremes of the month take place when the difference in longitude is 180°. The mean rates of the major axis and the ascending node are 0.11140° east and 0.05295° west per day, respectively. Therefore, the mean period between alignments of the axis and node is 2190.4 days or 6.0 years. This period is clearly seen in Figure 4-11. There are 67,111 draconic months during the 5000 years covered in this catalog. The shortest and longest months are 27.004 days (0.208 days or 5.0 hours shorter than the mean) and 27.487 days (0.275 days or 6.6 hours longer than the mean), respectively. A histogram of the distribution in the length of the draconic month over the five millennia appears in Figure 4-12 where the duration of individual draconic months have been binned into 30-min groups. The width and bifurcated symmetry of the distribution resemble the distribution for the lunation (synodic month) in Figure 4-4. Figure 4–12: Length of Draconic Month Over 5000 Years 3000 67,111 Draconic Months from 2000 BCE to 3000 CE 2000 1000 Mean Draconic Month 27d 05h 05m 36s 0 -8 -6 -4 -2 0 2 4 6 8 Difference from Mean Draconic Month (hours) [mean = 27d 05h 05m 36s] 4.5 Eclipse Cycles The interaction and harmonics of the synodic, anomalistic, and draconic months not only determine how frequently eclipses occur, but they also control the geometric characteristics and classification of each eclipse. The commensurability of these periods over long time scales results in several important eclipse cycles, which will be the subject of the next section. 47 Five Millennium Catalog of Solar Eclipses: –1999 to +3000 (2000 BCE to 3000 CE) Section 5: Solar Eclipse Periodicity 5.1 Interval Between Two Successive Solar Eclipses The time interval between any two successive solar eclipses can be either 1, 5, or 6 lunations (synodic months). The distribution of these 11,897 intervals in the Catalog is found in Table 5-1. Table 5-1. Interval Between Successive Solar Eclipses Number of Lunations 1 5 6 Number of Eclipses 1,361 2,743 7,793 Percent 11.4% 23.1% 65.5% 5.2 Solar Eclipse Repetition Eclipses separated by 1, 5 or 6 lunations are usually quite dissimilar. They are often of unlike types (i.e., partial, annular, total or hybrid) with diverse Sun-Moon-Earth alignment geometries, and with different lunar orbital characteristics (i.e., longitude of perigee and longitude of ascending node). More importantly, these short periods are of no value as predictors of future eclipses because they do not repeat in any recognizable pattern. A simple eclipse repetition cycle can be found by requiring that certain orbital parameters be repeated. The Moon must be in the new phase with the same longitude of perigee and same longitude of the ascending node. These conditions are met by searching for an integral multiple in the Moon’s three major periods—the synodic, anomalistic and draconic months. A fourth condition might require that an eclipse occur at approximately the same time of year to preserve the axial tilt of Earth and thus, the same season, as well as the distance from the Sun. 5.3 Saros The Saros arises from a harmonic between three of the Moon’s orbital cycles. All three periods are subject to slow variations over long time scales, but their current values (2000 CE) are: Synodic Month (New Moon to New Moon) = 29.530589 days Anomalistic Month (perigee to perigee) = 27.554550 days Draconic Month (node to node) = 27.212221 days = 29d 12h 44m 03s = 27d 13h 18m 33s = 27d 05h 05m 36s One Saros is equal to 223 synodic months, however, 239 anomalistic months and 242 draconic months are also equal (within a few hours) to this same period: 223 Synodic Months 239 Anomalistic Months 242 Draconic Months = 6585.3223 days = 6585.5375 days = 6585.3575 days = 6585d 07h 43m = 6585d 12h 54m = 6585d 08h 35m With a period of approximately 6,585.32 days (~18 years 11 days 8 hours), the Saros is valuable tool in investigating the periodicity and recurrence of eclipses. It was first known to the Chaldeans as an interval when lunar eclipses repeat, but the Saros is applicable to solar eclipses as well. 48 Fred Espenak and Jean Meeus Figure 5-1 — Eclipses from Saros 136: 1901 to 2045 2045 Aug 12 1991 Jul 11 1937 Jun 08 2027 Aug 02 1973 Jun 30 1919 May 29 2009 Jul 22 1955 Jun 20 1901 May 18 Any two eclipses separated by one Saros cycle share similar characteristics. They occur at the same node with the Moon at nearly the same distance from Earth and at the same time of year. Because the Saros period is not equal to a whole number of days, its biggest drawback as an eclipse predictor is that subsequent eclipses are visible from different parts of the globe. The extra 1/3 day displacement means that Earth must rotate an additional ~8 hours or ~120° with each cycle. For solar eclipses, this results in a shift of each succeeding eclipse path by ~120° west. Thus, a Saros series returns to approximately the same geographic region every three Saros periods (~54 years and 34 days). This triple Saros cycle is known as the Exeligmos. Figure 5-1 shows the path of totality for nine eclipses belonging to Saros 136. This series is of particular interest because it is currently producing the longest total eclipses of the 20th and 21st centuries. The westward migration of each eclipse path from 1901 through 2045 illustrates the consequences of the extra 1/3 day in the Saros period. The northward shift of each path is due to the progressive increase in gamma from –0.3626 (1901) to 0.2116 (2045). Saros series do not last indefinitely because the synodic, draconic, and anomalistic months are not perfectly commensurate with one another. In particular, the Moon’s node shifts eastward by about 0.48° with each eclipse in a series. The following narrative describes the life cycle of a typical Saros series at the Moon’s descending node. The series begins when the New Moon occurs ~17° east of the node. The Moon’s umbral/antumbral shadow passes about 3500 km south of Earth and a small partial eclipse will be visible from high southern latitudes. One Saros period later, the umbra/antumbra passes ~250 km closer to Earth’s geocenter (gamma increases) and a partial eclipse of slightly larger magnitude will result. After about 10 Saros cycles (~200 years), the first umbral/antumbral eclipse occurs near the South Pole of Earth. Over the course of the next 7 to 10 centuries, a central eclipse occurs every 18.031 years (= Saros), but will be displaced northward by about 250 km with respect to Earth’s center. Halfway through this period, eclipses of long duration occur near the equator (mid-series eclipses may be of short duration if hybrid or nearly so). The last central eclipse of the series takes place at high northern latitudes. Approximately 10 more eclipses will be partial with successively smaller magnitudes. Finally, the Saros series ends 12 to 15 centuries after it began at the opposite pole. Based on the above description, the path of each umbral/antumbral eclipse should shift uniformly north in latitude after every Saros period. As Fig. 5-2 shows, this is not always the case. Nine members from Saros 136 are plotted for the years 2117 through 2261. Although the paths of previous eclipses in this series were shifting progressively northward (Figure 5-1), the trend here is reversed and the paths shift south. This temporary effect is due to the tilt of Earth’s axis combined with the passage of Saros 136 eclipses from the Northern Hemisphere’s autumnal equinox through winter solstice. Note that the season for this group of eclipses runs from September through December. With 49 Five Millennium Catalog of Solar Eclipses: –1999 to +3000 (2000 BCE to 3000 CE) each successive eclipse, Earth’s Northern Hemisphere tips further and further away from the Sun. This motion shifts geographic features and circles of latitude northward with respect to the Sun–Earth line at a rate that is faster than the change in gamma. Consequently, the eclipse paths appear to shift south in latitude until the winter solstice when they again resume a northward trend. Figure 5-2 — Eclipses from Saros 136: 2117 to 2261 2153 Oct 17 2207 Nov 20 2261 Dec 22 2117 Sep 26 2135 Oct 07 2189 Nov 08 2243 Dec 12 2117 Sep 26 2171 Oct 29 2225 Dec 01 The scenario for a Saros series at the ascending node is similar except that gamma decreases as each successive eclipse shifts south of the previous one. The southern latitude trend in eclipse paths reverses to the north near the Northern Hemisphere summer solstice. Because of the ellipticity of the orbits of Earth and the Moon, the exact duration and number of eclipses in a complete Saros series is not constant. A series may last 1,226 to 1,551 years and is composed of 69 to 87 eclipses, of which 39 to 59 are umbral/antumbral (i.e., annular, total, or hybrid). At present (2008), there are 39 active Saros series numbered 117 to 155. The number of eclipses in each of these series ranges from 70 to 82, however, the majority of the series (84.6%) are composed of 70 to 73 eclipses. 5.4 Gamma and Saros Series Gamma changes monotonically throughout any single Saros series. As mentioned previously (Sect. 1.2.10), the change in gamma is larger when Earth is near its aphelion (June to July) than when it is near perihelion (December to January). For odd numbered series (ascending node), gamma decreases, while for even numbered series (descending node), gamma increases. This simple rule describes the current behavior of gamma, but this has not always been the case. The eccentricity of Earth’s orbit is presently 0.0167, and is slowly decreasing. It was 0.0181 in the year –2000 and will be 0.0163 in +3000. In the past when the eccentricity was larger, there were Saros series in which the trend in gamma reversed for a few cycles before resuming its original direction. These instances occur near perihelion when the Sun’s apparent motion is highest and may, in fact, overtake the eastward shift of the node. The resulting effect is a relative shift west of the node after one Saros cycle instead of the usual eastward shift. Consequently, gamma reverses direction. The most unusual case of this occurs in Saros series 0. It began in –2955 with 11 partial eclipses, followed by 1 total, 1 hybrid, and 4 annulars. Gamma increased with each eclipse until it reversed direction with the second annular. It continued to decrease and the series began to once again produce partial eclipses. With the third partial eclipse, gamma resumed its original northward shift. The series went on to produce 45 more annular eclipses before ending in the year –1675 after 7 partial eclipses. 50 Fred Espenak and Jean Meeus Among several hundred Saros series examined (–34 to 247), there are many other examples of temporary shifts in the monotonic nature of gamma, although none as bizarre as Saros 0. Some series have two separate reversals in gamma (e.g., series 15, 34, and 52) or even three (e.g., series –5 and 13). The most recent eclipse with a gamma reversal was in 1674 (Saros 107). The next and last in the Catalog will occur in 2290 (Saros 165). In past millennia, the gamma reversals were more frequent because Earth’s orbital eccentricity was larger. 5.5 Saros Series Statistics Eclipses belonging to 204 different Saros series fall within the five millennium span of the Catalog. Two series (–13 and 190) have only one or two members represented, while 81 have a larger but incomplete subset of their members included (–12 to –26, 30, 145, 147, and 151 to 189). Finally, 121 complete Saros series are contained within the Catalog (27 to 29, 31 to 144, 146, and 148 to 150). The number of eclipses in each of these series ranges from 69 to 87; however, over a quarter (27.9%) of the series contain 72 eclipses while nearly three quarters (72.1%) of them have 70 to 73 eclipses. Table 5-2 presents the statistical distribution of the number of eclipses in each Saros series. The approximate duration (years) as a function of the number of eclipses is listed along with the first five Saros series containing the corresponding number of eclipses. Table 5-2.

Among the 204 Saros series with members falling within the scope of this Catalog, the number of partial eclipses in the initial phase ranges from 6 to 25. Similarly, the number of partial eclipses in the final phase varies from 6 to 24. The middle life of a Saros series is composed of 51 Five Millennium Catalog of Solar Eclipses: –1999 to +3000 (2000 BCE to 3000 CE) umbral/antumbral eclipses (i.e., annular, total, or hybrid), which range in number from 39 to 59. Table 5-3 presents the statistical distribution in the number of umbral/antumbral eclipses in the Saros series represented in the Catalog. Saros 0 is an exception to the above scheme. After beginning with 11 partial eclipses, Saros 0 proceeds with a total, a hybrid, and an annular eclipse. The series then reverts back to three more partial eclipses. It finally resumes with a string of 45 annular eclipses before ending with 7 partial eclipses. This odd behavior is due to the higher orbital eccentricity of Earth in the past and fortuitous timing.

The duration of the A/T/H eclipse sequence of Saros 0 is 974 years because it contains three partial eclipses. A concise summary of all 204 Saros series (–13 to 190) is presented in Tables 5-4 to 5-9. The number of eclipses in each series is listed followed by the calendar dates of the first and last eclipses in the Saros. Finally, the chronological sequence of eclipse types in the series is tabulated. The number and type of eclipses varies from one Saros series to the next as reflected in the sequence diversity.

He assigned the number 1 to a pair of solar and lunar eclipse series that were in progress during the second millennium BCE based on an extrapolation from von Oppolzer’s Canon der Finsternisse (1887). There is an interval of 1, 5, or 6 synodic months between any sequential pair of solar eclipses. Interestingly, the number of lunations between two eclipses permits the determination of the Saros series number of the second eclipse when the Saros series number of the first eclipse is known. Let the Saros series number of the first eclipse in a pair be “s”. The Saros series number of the second eclipse can be found from the relationships in Table 5-10 (Meeus, Grosjean, and Vanderleen, 1966). 58 Fred Espenak and Jean Meeus Table 5-10. Some Eclipse Periods and Their Relationships to the Saros Number Number of Synodic Months 1 5 6 135 223 235 358 669 Length of Time ~1 month ~5 months ~6 months ~11 years – 1 month ~18 years + 11 days ~19 years ~29 years – 20 days ~54 years + 33 days Saros Series Number s + 38 s – 33 s + 5 s + 1 s s + 10 s + 1 s Period Name Lunation Short Semester Semester Tritos Saros Metonic Cycle Inex Exeligmos (Triple Saros) 5.7 Saros and Inex A number of different eclipse cycles were investigated by van den Bergh, but the most useful were the Saros and the Inex. The Inex is equal to 358 synodic months (~29 years less 20 days), which is very nearly 388.5 draconic months. 358 Synodic Months 388.5 Draconic Months = 10,571.9509 days = 10,571.9479 days = 10,571d 22h 49m = 10,571d 22h 55m The extra 0.5 in the number of draconic months means that eclipses separated by one Inex period occur at opposite nodes. Consequently, an eclipse visible from the Northern Hemisphere will be followed one Inex later by an eclipse visible from the Southern Hemisphere, and vice versa. The Inex is equal to ~383.67 anomalistic months, which is far from an integer number. Thus, eclipses separated by one Inex will very likely be of different types, especially if they are central (i.e., total or annular). The mean time difference between 358 synodic months and 388.5 draconic months making up an Inex is only 6 min. In comparison, the mean difference between these two cycles in the Saros is 52 min. This means that after one Inex, the shift of the Moon with respect to the node (+0.04°) is much smaller than for the Saros (–0.48°). While a Saros series lasts 12 to 15 centuries, an Inex series typically lasts 225 centuries and contains about 780 eclipses. 5.8 Saros–Inex Panorama Van den Bergh placed all 8,000 solar eclipses in von Oppolzer’s Canon der Finsternisse (1887) into a large twodimensional matrix. Each Saros series was arranged as a separate column containing every eclipse in chronological order. The individual Saros columns were then staggered so that the horizontal rows each corresponded to different Inex series. This “Saros–Inex Panorama” proved useful in organizing eclipses. For instance, one step down in the panorama is a change of one Saros period (6585.32 days) later, while one step to the right is a change of one Inex period (10571.95 days) later. The rows and columns were then numbered with the Saros and Inex numbers. The panorama also made it possible to predict the approximate circumstances of solar (and lunar) eclipses occurring before or after the period spanned by von Oppolzer’s Canon. The time interval “t” between any two solar eclipses can be found through an integer combination of Saros and Inex periods via the following relationship: t = a i + b s, (5–1) 59 where Five Millennium Catalog of Solar Eclipses: –1999 to +3000 (2000 BCE to 3000 CE) t = interval in days, i = Inex period of 10571.95 days (358 synodic months), s = Saros period of 6585.32 days (223 synodic months), and a, b = integers (negative, zero, or positive). From this equation, a number of useful combinations of Inex and Saros periods can be employed to extend von Oppolzer’s Canon from –1207 back to –1600 using nothing more than simple arithmetic (van den Bergh, 1954). The ultimate goal of the effort was to a produce an eclipse canon for dating historical events prior to –1207. Periods formed by various combinations of Inex and Saros were evaluated in order to satisfy one or more of the following conditions: 1) The deviation from a multiple of 0.5 draconic months should be small (i.e., Moon should be nearly the same distance from the node). 2) The deviation from an integral multiple of anomalistic months should be small (i.e., Moon should be nearly the same distance from Earth). 3) The deviation from an integral multiple of anomalistic years should be small (i.e., eclipse should occur on nearly the same calendar date). No single Inex–Saros combination meets all three criteria, but there are periods that do a reasonably good job for any one of them. Note that secular changes in the Moon’s elements cause a particular period to be of high accuracy for a limited number of centuries. The direct application of the Saros–Inex panorama allows for the determination of eclipse dates in the past (or future); however, the application of the longer Saros–Inex combinations permit the rapid estimation of a number of eclipse characteristics without lengthy calculations. Table 5-11 lists several of the most useful periods. Table 5-11. Some Useful Eclipse Periods Period Name Heliotrope Accuratissima Horologia Period (Inex + Saros) 58i + 6s 58i + 9s 110i + 7s Period (years) 1,787 1,841 3,310 Use Geographic longitude of central line Geographic latitude of central line Time of ecliptic conjunction Modern digital computers using high precision solar and lunar ephemerides can directly predict the dates and circumstances of eclipses. Nevertheless, the Saros and Inex cycles remain useful tools in understanding the periodicity and frequency of eclipses. 5.9 Secular Variations in the Saros and Inex Because of long secular variations in the average ellipticity of the Moon’s and Earth’s orbits, the mean lengths of the synodic, draconic, and anomalistic months are slowly changing. The mean synodic and draconic months are increasing by approximately 0.2 and 0.4 s per millennium, respectively. Meanwhile, the anomalistic month is decreasing by about 0.8 s per millennium. Although small, the cumulative effects of such changes has an impact on both the Saros and Inex. Table 5-12 shows how the number of draconic and anomalistic months change with respect to 223 synodic months (Saros period) over 60 Fred Espenak and Jean Meeus an interval of 7000 years. Of particular interest is the last column, which shows the mean shift of the Moon’s node after a period of 1 Saros. It is gradually increasing, which means that the average number of eclipses in a typical Saros series is decreasing. Table 5-12: Number of Anomalistic and Draconic Months in 1 Saros Year –3000 –2000 –1000 0 1000 2000 3000 4000 Anomalistic Months Draconic Months Node Shift (223 Lunations) (223 Lunations) (after 1 Saros) 238.991679 238.991763 238.991854 238.991950 238.992051 238.992157 238.992267 238.992379 241.998742 241.998730 241.998717 241.998703 241.998688 241.998673 241.998656 241.998639 0.4529 0.4571 0.4618 0.4668 0.4722 0.4779 0.4838 0.4899 Table 5-13 shows how the number of draconic months is changing with respect to 358 synodic months (Inex period) over a 7000-year interval. The mean shift in the lunar node after 1 Inex is much smaller than the Saros and is gradually decreasing. This explains why the lifetime of the Inex is so much longer than the Saros and is still increasing. Table 5-13: Number of Draconic Months in 1 Inex Year –3000 –2000 –1000 0 1000 2000 3000 4000 Draconic Months (358 Lunations) 388.500223 388.500204 388.500183 388.500160 388.500136 388.500111 388.500085 388.500057 Node Shift (after 1 Inex) -0.0801 -0.0734 -0.0659 -0.0578 -0.0491 -0.0400 -0.0305 -0.0207 Although the Inex possesses a long lifespan, its mean duration is not easily characterized because of the decreasing nodal shift seen in Table 5-13. If the instantaneous mean durations of the synodic and draconic months for the years –2000, +2000, and +4000 are used to calculate the mean duration of the Inex, the resulting lengths are about 14,500, 26,600, and 51,000 years, respectively (Meeus, 2004). 61 Five Millennium Catalog of Solar Eclipses: –1999 to +3000 (2000 BCE to 3000 CE) Abbreviations arcsec AT ATA BCE CE cm ET GMAT GMT IAU ISO LLR LOD m min s arcsec/cy2 TA TAI TD TT UT UTC VLBI Arc second Hybrid eclipse that begins as annular, then changes to total.
