Introduction

The Partial Solar Eclipse of 1935 Jan 05 is visible from the following geographic regions:

  • Partial Eclipse: South Pacific

The instant of greatest eclipse takes place on 1935 Jan 05 at 05:35:46 TD (05:35:22 UT1). This is 1.3 days before the Moon reaches perigee. During the eclipse, the Sun is in the constellation Sagittarius. The synodic month in which the eclipse takes place has a Brown Lunation Number of 149.

The eclipse belongs to Saros 111 and is number 79 of 79 eclipses in the series. Thus, the 1935 Jan 05 event is the last eclipse of the series . All eclipses in this series occur at the Moon’s ascending node. The Moon moves southward with respect to the node with each succeeding eclipse in the series and gamma decreases.

This is an extremely shallow partial eclipse. It has an eclipse magnitude of only 0.0013, while Gamma has a value of -1.5381. This is a very deep partial eclipse. It has an eclipse magnitude of 0.0013, while Gamma has a value of -1.5381.

The partial solar eclipse of 1935 Jan 05 is followed two weeks later by a total lunar eclipse on 1935 Jan 19.

Another solar eclipse occurs one synodic month after the 1935 Jan 05 eclipse. It is the partial solar eclipse of 1935 Feb 03.

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 23.9 seconds for this eclipse.

Eclipse Predictions

Predictions for the Partial Solar Eclipse of 1935 Jan 05 were generated using the JPL DE405 solar and lunar ephemerides. The lunar coordinates were calculated with respect to the Moon's Center of Mass. The 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 23.9 seconds for this eclipse.
