I plan to watch in central NJ around 6am...through a pinhole camera, of course! http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/OH/OH1999.html#SE1999Aug11T Eclipses During 1999 by Fred Espenak To Be Published in Observer's Handbook 1999, Royal Astronomical Society of Canada Two solar and two lunar eclipses occur in 1999 as follows: 1999 Jan 31: Penumbral Lunar Eclipse 1999 Feb 16: Annular Solar Eclipse 1999 Jul 28: Partial Lunar Eclipse 1999 Aug 11: Total Solar Eclipse Predictions and maps for the solar and lunar eclipses are presented in a number of figures linked to this document. World maps show the regions of visibility for each eclipse. The lunar eclipse diagrams also include the path of the Moon through Earth's shadows. Contact times for each principal phase are tabulated along with the magnitudes and geocentric coordinates of the Sun and Moon at greatest eclipse. Although all three lunar eclipses are "visible" from parts of North America, their penumbral nature makes them difficult to detect. 1999 Jan 31: Penumbral Lunar Eclipse Penumbral eclipses of the Moon are rarely of much interest. However, the first eclipse of 1999 is an exception since it falls into the unusual category of the total penumbral eclipse. In order for a penumbral eclipse to be total, the Moon must pass centrally through the penumbral annulus and its apparent diameter must not exceed the width of the penumbral ring. According to eclipse experts Jean Meeus and Hermann Mucke [1979], during the 45+ century period 2001 BC to 2526 AD there are 10936 lunar eclipses, 132 of which are total penumbral eclipses. This corresponds to a mere 1.2% of all eclipses. The first eclipse of 1999 occurs several weeks after Earth reaches perihelion, a time when the umbral and penumbral shadows are at their minimum and maximum diameters, respectively. This allows the Moon to marginally squeeze completely within the penumbra without the Moon's limb entering any portion of the umbra. Nevertheless, the Moon's northern limb will glide within a scant 0.7 arc-minutes of the umbra making this event quite obvious, even to the naked eye. Greatest eclipse occurs at 16:17 UT and will be visible from western Canada and the U.S. as well as the Pacific, Asia, Australia and eastern Europe and Africa. The Moon's path through Earth's shadow(s) as well as a map showing worldwide visibility of the event are shown in Figure 1. 1999 Feb 16: Annular Solar Eclipse The first solar eclipse of 1999 is annular and is confined to the southern hemisphere Figure 2. Eclipses in this Saros series changed from total to annular during the early 20th century. As a consequence, the path of the antumbra is quite narrow and the duration is short. The central path begins about 1000 kilometres south of South Africa at 04:57 UT. An hour and a half later, the instant of greatest eclipse occurs in the middle of the Indian Ocean (06:34 UT). The path is only 29 kilometres wide and the duration of annularity is a brief 40 seconds. Nearly another hour passes before the antumbra finally reaches land. The path of annularity crosses into southwestern Australia about 300 kilometres north of Perth at 07:28 UT (Figure 3). The Sun's altitude is then 45°, the path width is 42 kilometres and the duration of annularity is 48 seconds. At mid-eclipse, the annular ring of the Sun will have a mean thickness of only 9 arc-seconds! Since the Moon's limb exhibits orthographic features on the order of 3 to 5 arc-seconds, this event should offer a spectacular display of Baily's Beads. Continuing on its northeastern course, the path crosses arid parts of Western Australia through relatively remote and unpopulated areas. Entering the Northern Territory, the antumbra passes 400 kilometres north of Alice Springs at 08:00 UT. The Sun's altitude will then be 39° as the path width (48 kilometres) and central duration (51 seconds) gradually increase. This occurs because the curvature of Earth brings these regions further from the Moon and deeper into the antumbral shadow. The path stretches through northern Queensland passing 100 kilometers north of Cairns where a partial eclipse of magnitude 0.97 will be seen with the Sun 10° above the horizon at 08:07 UT. The path ends three minutes later in the Coral Sea. The length of the entire path of annularity is approximately 13,700 kilometres which encompasses about 0.20% of Earth's total surface area. Path coordinates and centre line circumstances are presented in Table 1. Local circumstances for cities throughout the path are given in Table 2. All times are given in Universal Time. The Sun's altitude and azimuth, the eclipse magnitude and obscuration are all given at the instant of maximum eclipse. The appearance of the eclipse at maximum phase for a number of locations is depicted in What Will
