Total and Total-annular solar eclipses processed by the program are comprised between 1900 and 2100, exactly 287 eclipses from 28th May 1900 to 4th September 2100.
The program gives the times in Universal Time of the Solar eclipses phases (initial, central and final) and the geographical coordinates where it is possible to observe those circumstances of the eclipse. It also gives maximum duration and the width of the lunar umbra. The date is that of the initial phase of the eclipse.
The program has a few functions: Earth Map, Movie and Google Map visualization. The first allows seeing a few points of the path of the lunar umbra on Earth surface; the second creates an animation: the user will see the eclipse from one hour before up to one hour after its maximum phase with step of 2 minutes; the third function allows to visualize Google Map of the area around the point where the eclipse reaches the maximum.
Moreover it is possible to change geographical coordinates of the observer. This allows knowing if and how the eclipse will be seen from other points of the Earth surface (e.g. it is possible to know if the eclipse will be partial or it does not occur for those coordinates).
Lunar eclipses
The program takes in account the lunar eclipses included between 1999 and 2030. For each eclipse we can see the main data of the event: initial, final and maximum phases, Moon position respect on both the ecliptic and the Earth surface, magnitude of the eclipse. At the right bottom is displayed the Earth hemisphere from where is possible to observe the eclipse.
The user interface supports both English and Italian language.
At the moment in app store there is the version 1.1 (without lunar eclipses).
It is already submitted version 1.2 that includes lunar eclipses and other functionalities.
In a few days it will be available.
