Eclipse Predictions

Predictions for the Total Solar Eclipse of 2030 Nov 25 were generated using the VSOP87/ELP2000-85 solar and lunar ephemerides and a value of ΔT = 77.3 seconds. The luanr coordinates have been calculated with respect to the Moon's Center of Mass. They DO NOT include a correction to the Center of Figure, or the effects of mountains and valleys along the edge of the Moon.
