  • Solar Eclipse Paths

    GPS Utility dataset files (txt) containing routes of Solar Eclipse Paths. This data is derived from "Eclipse Predictions by Fred Espenak, NASA/GSFC".

    1. HYBRID SOLAR ECLIPSE of 8th April 2005 - South Pacific, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela
    2. ANNULAR SOLAR ECLIPSE of 3rd October 2005 - Portugal, Spain, Libia, Sudan, Kenya
    3. TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE of 29 March 2006 - South Atlantic, Africa, Turkey, Russia

    The routes show the lefthand limit, centre line and the righthand limits of the path. See the notes in the files and also Fred Espenak's Eclipse Home Page for more information.

    The files can be loaded into a Registered version of GPS Utility (you may have to increase the number of Waypoints per Route in Options|General). Freeware users will first have to extract a subset of the data relevant to their area of interest by editing the file with a text editor.
