Introduction

The Partial Solar Eclipse of 1964 Jul 09 is visible from the following geographic regions:

• Partial Eclipse: north North America, North Pole, northeast Asia

The map to the right depicts the geographic regions of eclipse visibility. 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 1964 Jul 09 at 11:17:53 TD (11:17:18 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 514.

The eclipse belongs to Saros 155 and is number 3 of 71 eclipses in 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 a very deep partial eclipse. It has an eclipse magnitude of 0.3222, while Gamma has a value of 1.3623.

The partial solar eclipse of 1964 Jul 09 is preceded two weeks earlier by a total lunar eclipse on 1964 Jun 25.

Another solar eclipse occurs one synodic month before the 1964 Jul 09 eclipse. It is the partial solar eclipse of 1964 Jun 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 35.4 seconds for this eclipse.

Polynomial Besselian Elements: Partial Solar Eclipse of 1964 Jul 09

At time t1 (decimal hours), each besselian element is evaluated by:

x = x0 + x1*t + x2*t² + x3*t³ (or x = Σ [xn*tⁿ]; n = 0 to 3)

where: t = t1 - t0 (decimal hours) and t0 = 11.000

Eclipse Predictions

Predictions for the Partial Solar Eclipse of 1964 Jul 09 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 35.4 seconds for this eclipse.
