This implementation of Google Maps is based on Charlie Ridgway's Occultations Page. The eclipse contacts window is based on Xavier Jubier's Interactive Solar Eclipses Maps page and Five Millennium Canon of Solar Eclipses web tool.
Special thanks to National Space Club summer intern Sumit Dutta for his assistance in developing this web page (July 2007).
The eclipse predictions were generated for the Moon's center of mass using the VSOP87/ELP2000-82 ephemerides for the Sun and Moon. The accuracy of the northern and southern edges of the eclipse path are limited to approximately 1-2 kilometers due to the lunar limb profile. All calculations are by Fred Espenak, and he assumes full responsibility for their accuracy.

Each of the following links displays a table containing 20 years of total, annular and hybrid eclipses. Each eclipse offers links to a global map, shadow animation, interactive Google map, path coordinates table, and saros table.
