Exeligmos, the Glossary

Index Exeligmos

An exeligmos (lit) is a period of 54 years, 33 days that can be used to predict successive eclipses with similar properties and location.[1]

Antikythera mechanism

The Antikythera mechanism is an Ancient Greek hand-powered orrery (model of the Solar System), described as the oldest known example of an analogue computer used to predict astronomical positions and eclipses decades in advance. Exeligmos and Antikythera mechanism are Ancient Greek astronomy.

See Exeligmos and Antikythera mechanism

Coordinated Universal Time

Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the primary time standard globally used to regulate clocks and time.

See Exeligmos and Coordinated Universal Time

December 1963 lunar eclipse

A total lunar eclipse took place on Monday, December 30, 1963.

See Exeligmos and December 1963 lunar eclipse

Eclipse

An eclipse is an astronomical event which occurs when an astronomical object or spacecraft is temporarily obscured, by passing into the shadow of another body or by having another body pass between it and the viewer. Exeligmos and eclipse are eclipses.

See Exeligmos and Eclipse

Eclipse cycle

Eclipses may occur repeatedly, separated by certain intervals of time: these intervals are called eclipse cycles. Exeligmos and eclipse cycle are eclipses and time in astronomy.

See Exeligmos and Eclipse cycle

Eclipse season

An eclipse season is a period, roughly every six months, when eclipses occur. Exeligmos and eclipse season are eclipses and time in astronomy.

See Exeligmos and Eclipse season

Gamma (eclipse)

Gamma (denoted as γ) of an eclipse describes how centrally the shadow of the Moon or Earth strikes the other body.

See Exeligmos and Gamma (eclipse)

January 2018 lunar eclipse

A total lunar eclipse occurred on 31 January 2018.

See Exeligmos and January 2018 lunar eclipse

List of solar eclipses in the 22nd century

This is a list of solar eclipses that will occur in the 22nd century.

See Exeligmos and List of solar eclipses in the 22nd century

Longitude

Longitude is a geographic coordinate that specifies the east–west position of a point on the surface of the Earth, or another celestial body.

See Exeligmos and Longitude

Lunar eclipse

A lunar eclipse is an astronomical event that occurs when the Moon moves into the Earth's shadow, causing the Moon to be darkened. Exeligmos and lunar eclipse are eclipses.

See Exeligmos and Lunar eclipse

Lunar month

In lunar calendars, a lunar month is the time between two successive syzygies of the same type: new moons or full moons.

See Exeligmos and Lunar month

Lunar node

A lunar node is either of the two orbital nodes of the Moon, that is, the two points at which the orbit of the Moon intersects the ecliptic.

See Exeligmos and Lunar node

Magnitude of eclipse

The magnitude of eclipse is the fraction of the angular diameter of a celestial body being eclipsed. Exeligmos and magnitude of eclipse are eclipses.

See Exeligmos and Magnitude of eclipse

Orbit of the Moon

The Moon orbits Earth in the prograde direction and completes one revolution relative to the Vernal Equinox and the stars in about 27.32 days (a tropical month and sidereal month) and one revolution relative to the Sun in about 29.53 days (a synodic month).

Saros (astronomy)

The saros is a period of exactly 223 synodic months, approximately 6585.321 days (18.04 years), or 18 years plus 10, 11, or 12 days (depending on the number of leap years), and 8 hours, that can be used to predict eclipses of the Sun and Moon. Exeligmos and saros (astronomy) are eclipses and time in astronomy.

See Exeligmos and Saros (astronomy)

Solar eclipse

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby obscuring the view of the Sun from a small part of Earth, totally or partially. Exeligmos and solar eclipse are eclipses.

See Exeligmos and Solar eclipse

Solar eclipse of August 12, 2045

A total solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Saturday, August 12, 2045, with a magnitude of 1.0774.

See Exeligmos and Solar eclipse of August 12, 2045

Solar eclipse of July 11, 1991

A total solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Thursday, July 11, 1991, with a magnitude of 1.08.

See Exeligmos and Solar eclipse of July 11, 1991

Solar eclipse of June 21, 2020

An annular solar eclipse occurred at the Moon’s ascending node of orbit on Sunday, June 21, 2020, with a magnitude of 0.994.

See Exeligmos and Solar eclipse of June 21, 2020

Solar eclipse of June 8, 1937

A total solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Tuesday, June 8, 1937, with a magnitude of 1.0751.

See Exeligmos and Solar eclipse of June 8, 1937

Solar eclipse of May 20, 1966

An annular solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's ascending node of orbit on Friday, May 20, 1966, with a magnitude of 0.9991.

See Exeligmos and Solar eclipse of May 20, 1966

Solar eclipse of May 6, 1883

A total solar eclipse occurred on May 6, 1883.

See Exeligmos and Solar eclipse of May 6, 1883

Solar eclipse of September 14, 2099

A total solar eclipse will occur at the Moon's descending node of orbit on Monday, September 14, 2099, with a magnitude of 1.0684.

See Exeligmos and Solar eclipse of September 14, 2099

Solar Saros 136

Saros cycle series 136 for solar eclipses occurs at the Moon's descending node, repeating every 18 years, 11 days, containing 71 eclipses, 56 of which are umbral (6 annular, 6 hybrid, 44 total).

See Exeligmos and Solar Saros 136

Supermoon

A supermoon is a full moon or a new moon that nearly coincides with perigee—the closest that the Moon comes to the Earth in its elliptic orbit—resulting in a slightly larger-than-usual apparent size of the lunar disk as viewed from Earth.
