Introduction
The Annular Solar Eclipse of 2726 Jan 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 2726 Jan 25 at 10:59:21 TD (10:20:34 UT1). This is 1.9 days after the Moon reaches apogee. 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 9933.
The eclipse belongs to Saros 162 and is number 27 of 70 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 2726 Jan 25 is an exceptionally long annular eclipse with a duration at greatest eclipse of 09m52s. It has an eclipse magnitude of 0.9206.
The annular solar eclipse of 2726 Jan 25 is preceded two weeks earlier by a penumbral lunar eclipse on 2726 Jan 10, and it is followed two weeks later by a penumbral lunar eclipse on 2726 Feb 08.
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 2327.5 seconds for this eclipse. The uncertainty in ΔT is 545.7 seconds corresponding to a standard error in longitude of the eclipse path of ± 2.28°.
