Book excerpt: This is the third in a series of NASA Eclipse Bulletins containing detailed predictions, maps and meteorological data for future central solar eclipses of interest. Published as part of NASA's Reference Publication (RP) series, the bulletins are prepared in cooperation with the Working Group on Eclipses of the International Astronomical Union and are provided as a public service to both the professional and lay communities, including educators and the media. In order to allow a reasonable lead time for planning purposes, subsequent bulletins will be published 24 months or more before each event. On Tuesday, 1995 October 24, a total eclipse of the Sun will be visible from much of the eastern hemisphere. The path of the Moon's umbral shadow begins in the Middle East, and sweeps across India, Southeast Asia, and South China Sea where it briefly engulfs the northern tip of Borneo before swinging eastward between the Philippines and New Guinea. The path ends at sunset in the Pacific Ocean south of the Marshall Islands. A partial eclipse will be seen within the much broader path of the Moon's penumbral shadow, which includes most of Asia, the Indonesian archipelago and Australia. Detailed predictions for this event are presented and include besselian elements, geographic coordinates of the path of totality, physical ephemeris of the umbra, topocentric limb profile corrections, local circumstances for 400 cities, maps of the eclipse path, weather prospects, the lunar limb profile, and the sky during totality.
