Introduction
The Annular Solar Eclipse of 0262 Nov 29 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 0262 Nov 29 at 07:13:09 TD (04:59:56 UT1). This is 3.4 days before the Moon reaches perigee. During the eclipse, the Sun is in the constellation Sagittarius. The synodic month in which the eclipse takes place has a Brown Lunation Number of -20532.
The eclipse belongs to Saros 85 and is number 25 of 72 eclipses in the series. All eclipses in this series occur at the Moon’s 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 0262 Nov 29 is a very short annular eclipse with a duration at greatest eclipse of 00m11s. It has an eclipse magnitude of 0.9984.
The annular solar eclipse of 0262 Nov 29 is preceded two weeks earlier by a penumbral lunar eclipse on 0262 Nov 13.
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 7993.8 seconds for this eclipse. The uncertainty in ΔT is 194.0 seconds corresponding to a standard error in longitude of the eclipse path of ± 0.81°.
