Introduction
The Annular Solar Eclipse of 1876 Mar 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 1876 Mar 25 at 20:05:06 TD (20:05:10 UT1). This is 4.6 days before the Moon reaches perigee. During the eclipse, the Sun is in the constellation Pisces. The synodic month in which the eclipse takes place has a Brown Lunation Number of -578.
The eclipse belongs to Saros 137 and is number 28 of 70 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 1876 Mar 25 is a very short annular eclipse with a duration at greatest eclipse of 00m01s. It has an eclipse magnitude of 0.9999.
The annular solar eclipse of 1876 Mar 25 is preceded two weeks earlier by a partial lunar eclipse on 1876 Mar 10.
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 -3.8 seconds for this eclipse.
