A program for searching and graphically simulating lunar and solar eclipses with great precision ranging from the year 4713 B.C to 6500 A.C.

Things it can do:

  • Calculates the amount of eclipses who took or will take place in a given year, including day and hour;
  • Calculates the instants and geographical coordinates of all relevant zones of the different stages of an eclipse (beginning, central phase an end);
  • Draws a Map of the part of the globe where the eclipse will take place/be seen;
  • Shows over an Earth Map the names of around 1350 cities;
  • Traces over an Earth Map the magnitude lines of a solar eclipse;
  • Simulates the progression of the eclipse by drawing the real path of the umbra and penumbra cone of the Moon over an Earth Map;
  • Checks the possibility of observing a given eclipse from one's location/city;
  • Shows the different stages of the event as they can be observed from a given spot;
  • Simulates the progression of the eclipses with steps ranging from one second to one hour;
  • Shows the positions of the planets visible during the eclipse in a 30 degrees wide window centred on the Sun or on the shadow of the Earth;
  • Calculates the lunar phases, month by month, for any given year;
  • Measures the distance in kilometres at sea level between any two points over the Earth.
