This map shows the path of the solar eclipse across Earth's surface. The northern and southern path limits are blue and the central line is red. The navigation controls (upper right corner) are for zooming in and out and rotating the map. The scale control (bottom left) shows the current map scale. The map uses OpenFreeMap tiles for a clean, detailed view of the Earth's surface.
See Eclipse Data, including the Besselian elements, for the 949 June 29 solar eclipse.
Click anywhere on the map to calculate eclipse times there. For more information, see Instructions.
This MapLibre implementation (path computations, local circumstances and cursor position) is based on Xavier Jubier's Five Millennium Canon of Solar Eclipses Web Tool.
Special thanks to National Space Club summer intern Sumit Dutta for his assistance in preparing the original solar eclipse mapper (July 2007).
This implementation uses MapLibre GL JS, an open-source JavaScript library for interactive maps, and OpenFreeMap for map tiles.
These eclipse predictions were generated for the Moon's center of mass using the VSOP87/ELP2000-82 ephemerides and a value of ΔT = 1860 s. The resulting Besselian elements are the same as those used by the Five Millennium Canon of Solar Eclipses.
