Annular and Total Solar Eclipses Visible from New York, NY

Two to five eclipses of the Sun occur every year. Each of these events is only visible within the 7,000 kilometer wide track of the Moon's penumbral shadow as it sweeps across a portion of the Earth. If the dark core of the Moon's shadow (umbra) also crosses the Earth, then either an annular or total eclipse will be seen within its very narrow path. The umbral path is typically about 100 to 200 kilometers wide. For any given location, a partial eclipse occurs about once every two or three years. In comparison, annular and total eclipses are far rarer events. Eclipses for Beginners examines the geometry of solar eclipses in greater detail. Please note that extreme care must be taken when viewing a solar eclipse.

The table below summarizes the types and numbers of eclipses visible each century from New York during the period 0001 CE to 3000 CE . The last two columns list the years in which annular and total eclipses are visible from this location. During this interval, 22 annular eclipses are visible from New York ( 0252*, 0324, 0623, 0739, 0909, 0934, 1008, 1048*, 1234, 1357, 1520, 1536, 1574, 1791, ). For the same period, 11 total eclipses are visible from New York ( 0664, 0957, 1079*, 1142*, 1349*, 1478, 1925*, 2079, 2144, 2200 and 2866 ). Annular and total eclipses are extraordinarily uncommon events when viewed from a single place. On average, an annular eclipse is seen once every 224 years, while a total eclipse is seen once every 375 years. However, there can be significant variations in these averages.

The geographic coordinates used in these predictions are for a single position in central New York . But cities are not simply singular points on the surface of the Earth. They cover geographic regions many tens of square kilometers in area. An eclipse path may miss the center of a city yet still be visible from within the city limits. To cover for this possibility, any partial eclipse seen from the city's center is counted as annular or total if some portion of its umbral path passes within 15 km of the city's coordinates.

Catalog of Annular and Total Eclipses Visible from New York, NY

The following catalog features the primary details for all annular and total eclipses visible from New York during the period 0001 CE to 3000 CE . For convenience, all dates and times are given in local standard time (= GMT - 5.0) . Note that if daylight savings time is in effect, then one hour must be added to the times. In addition to the date and the type of eclipse visible from New York , the local times for the beginning, maximum and end of the eclipse are given. For maximum eclipse, each catalog lists the Sun's altitude and azimuth as well as the magnitude (fraction of Sun's diameter covered) and obscuration (fraction of Sun's area covered). A magnitude of 1.0 or greater is a total eclipse while a magnitude less than 1.0 is either an annular or partial eclipse. Next, the distances (km) from New York to the center line and path edge are provided. If the city coordinates are inside the umbral eclipse path, then the tabulated distance to the path edge is negative. Positive values imply that the geographic coordinates are just outside the path, but that an annular or total eclipse is still visible from some portions of the city. Finally, the last column provides special comments about the eclipse. If the central coordinates of New York are within the path, then the duration of annularity or totality is given. For a complete description of each item in the catalog, please see Key to Solar Eclipse Viewing Circumstances.

All Solar Eclipses Visible from New York, NY

The following two catalogs provide more details for solar eclipses visible from New York during the period 0001 CE to 3000 CE . The first catalog lists the local circumstances (times, magnitude, etc.) for every eclipse visible from the city. The second catalog includes only major eclipses (magnitude greater than 0.75, including nearby annular and total eclipses). The catalogs should prove useful for historical research or for planning future observations.
