The following table is a list of partial solar eclipses visible from
Ireland to the year 2021. The columns are :-
| Date |
The date of the eclipse |
| Lat |
The latitude of the point under consideration |
| Lon |
The longitude of the point under consideration |
| Start |
The time of the start of the partial eclipse |
| Mid |
The time of the middle of the eclipse |
| End |
The time of the end of the eclipse |
| Angles |
The angle from the centre of the Sun to the centre of the Moon (0=up, 90=left,
180=down, 270=right) at the start, the middle and the end of the eclipse |
| Mag |
The "magnitude" of the eclipse (the fraction of the Sun's diameter covered
by the Moon at mid-eclipse) |
The eclipses of 31 May 2003 and 4 Jan 2011 are in progress when the sun
rises. Hence there are no times or angles given for the start or the middle of these
eclipses, as the start and middle of these eclipses are not visible.
NB - I have assumed that summer time will run from the last sunday in March to the last
sunday in October.
