Introduction
The Annular Solar Eclipse of 2922 Jan 19 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 2922 Jan 19 at 03:49:58 TD (02:49:04 UT1). This is 3.9 days before 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 12357.
The eclipse belongs to Saros 175 and is number 19 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 2922 Jan 19 is a relatively long annular eclipse with a duration at greatest eclipse of 08m53s. It has an eclipse magnitude of 0.9296.
The annular solar eclipse of 2922 Jan 19 is preceded two weeks earlier by a partial lunar eclipse on 2922 Jan 04.
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 3654.2 seconds for this eclipse. The uncertainty in ΔT is 809.8 seconds corresponding to a standard error in longitude of the eclipse path of ± 3.38°.
