Introduction
The Annular Solar Eclipse of 0395 Sep 30 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 0395 Sep 30 at 19:48:25 TD (17:56:42 UT1). This is 4.1 days after the Moon reaches apogee. During the eclipse, the Sun is in the constellation Virgo. The synodic month in which the eclipse takes place has a Brown Lunation Number of -18889.
The eclipse belongs to Saros 79 and is number 47 of 71 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 0395 Sep 30 is a relatively long annular eclipse with a duration at greatest eclipse of 06m27s. It has an eclipse magnitude of 0.9411.
The annular solar eclipse of 0395 Sep 30 is followed two weeks later by a partial lunar eclipse on 0395 Oct 14.
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 6702.9 seconds for this eclipse. The uncertainty in ΔT is 162.3 seconds corresponding to a standard error in longitude of the eclipse path of ± 0.68°.
