Introduction
The Total Solar Eclipse of 1619 Jul 11 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 1619 Jul 11 at 10:29:58 TD (10:28:24 UT1). This is 1.0 days after the Moon reaches perigee. During the eclipse, the Sun is in the constellation Gemini. The synodic month in which the eclipse takes place has a Brown Lunation Number of -3753.
The eclipse belongs to Saros 130 and is number 30 of 73 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 1619 Jul 11 is an exceptionally long total eclipse with a duration at greatest eclipse of 06m41s. It has an eclipse magnitude of 1.0718.
The total solar eclipse of 1619 Jul 11 is preceded two weeks earlier by a partial lunar eclipse on 1619 Jun 27.
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 94.3 seconds for this eclipse.
