Introduction
The Hybrid Solar Eclipse of 0143 Oct 25 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 0143 Oct 25 at 22:39:53 TD (20:07:49 UT1). This is 2.4 days after the Moon reaches perigee. During the eclipse, the Sun is in the constellation Libra. The synodic month in which the eclipse takes place has a Brown Lunation Number of -22005.
The eclipse belongs to Saros 84 and is number 19 of 72 eclipses in the series. All eclipses in this series occur at the Moons descending node. The Moon moves northward with respect to the node with each succeeding eclipse in the series and gamma increases.
The solar eclipse of 0143 Oct 25 is one of the rare hybrid solar eclipses. In this particular case the eclipse path starts out as total but later changes to annular.
The hybrid solar eclipse of 0143 Oct 25 is preceded two weeks earlier by a partial lunar eclipse on 0143 Oct 11.
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 9124.4 seconds for this eclipse. The uncertainty in ΔT is 224.8 seconds corresponding to a standard error in longitude of the eclipse path of ± 0.94°.
