Besselian Elements for the Partial Solar Eclipse of 2011 Nov 25

The Besselian elements are valid over the period 3.00 ≤ t0 ≤ 9.00 TDT. Note that all times are expressed in Terrestrial Dynamical Time (TDT). Saros Series 123: Member 53 of 70 eclipses in series.

Eclipse Predictions

Predictions for the Partial Solar Eclipse of 2011 Nov 25 were generated using the JPL DE405 solar and lunar ephemerides and a value of ΔT = 66.5 seconds.
