Eclipse Predictions

The eclipse predictions presented here were generated using the JPL DE406 solar and lunar ephemerides. The lunar coordinates have been calculated with respect to the Moon's Center of Mass.

I created and was responsible for running the NASA Eclipse Website since its inception in 1996. I'm now retired. I don't have any NASA grants nor do I have funding of any kind. Nevertheless, I am passionate about the prediction of eclipses so my work continues to provide the very best information on past, present and future eclipses to anyone with an internet connection and a browsing device.

If you find the information on this web site of use, I invite you to help support EclipseWise.com. Current expenses include:

  • Web Site Hosting - the annual fee associated with paying a service to host a web site
  • Domain Name - the annual fee for using the domain name EclipseWise.com
  • Web Site Development - occasional expenses to pay a web developer to help in creating new capabilities and features on the web site

Your generous donation can help me continue to make EclipseWise.com the very best source for predictions of solar and lunar eclipses. I've placed a PayPal donation button below for your convenience.

I am also available for presenting lectures on eclipses and astronomy at your event, meeting or convention. The honorarium I receive for speaking engagements is another way to support my eclipse work. See Public Talks and Speaking Engagements for more information.

The book sales of the Thousand Year Canon of Solar Eclipses 1501 to 2500 and the Thousand Year Canon of Lunar Eclipses 1501 to 2500 offer one more way of supporting EclipseWise.com.

Thanks for your generous support and I wish you clear skies at your next eclipse!
