Introduction
The Total Solar Eclipse of -0567 Jun 19 (0568 Jun 19 BCE) is visible from the geographic regions shown on the map to the right. Click on the map to enlarge it. For an explanation of the features appearing in the map, see Key to Solar Eclipse Maps.
The instant of greatest eclipse takes place on -0567 Jun 19 at 09:41:41 TD (04:39:56 UT1). This is 1.3 days after the Moon reaches perigee. During the eclipse, the Sun is in the constellation Gemini. The synodic month in which the eclipse takes place has a Brown Lunation Number of -30791.
The eclipse belongs to Saros 47 and is number 42 of 72 eclipses in the series. All eclipses in this series occur at the Moons ascending node. The Moon moves southward with respect to the node with each succeeding eclipse in the series and gamma decreases.
The solar eclipse of -0567 Jun 19 is an exceptionally long total eclipse with a duration at greatest eclipse of 06m17s. It has an eclipse magnitude of 1.0659.
The total solar eclipse of -0567 Jun 19 is followed two weeks later by a partial lunar eclipse on -0567 Jul 04.
These eclipses all take place during a single eclipse season.
The eclipse predictions are given in both Terrestrial Dynamical Time (TD) and Universal Time (UT1). The parameter ΔT is used to convert between these two times (i.e., UT1 = TD - ΔT). ΔT has a value of 18105.0 seconds for this eclipse. The uncertainty in ΔT is 455.6 seconds corresponding to a standard error in longitude of the eclipse path of ± 1.90°.
