Errata
- Pages A-56 to A-150:
The tabulated values of ΔT and Longitude are incorrect. Corrected values can be found in the pdf version of "Five Millennium Catalog of Solar Eclipses: -1999 to +3000" (NASA/TP-2008-214170) - Page 43, 3rd paragraph:
replace: "Oscillating about this line is the true longitude of perigee."
with: "Oscillating about this line is the difference between the true longitudes of Sun and perigee." - Page 52, 2nd paragraph:
replace: "This odd behavior is due to the higher eccentricity of the Moon's orbit and fortuitous timing."
with: "This odd behavior is due to the higher orbital eccentricity of Earth in the past and fortuitous timing."
