Opis

This is the second 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 eclipse bulletins are provided as a public service to both the professional and lay communities, including educators and the media. In order to provide a reasonable lead time for planning purposes, subsequent NASA RP's for future eclipses will be published 18 to 24 months before each event. On Thursday, 3 November 1994, a total eclipse of the Sun will be visible from the southern half of the Western Hemisphere. The Moon's umbral shadow delineates a path through South America including southern Peru, northern Chile, Bolivia, Paraguay and southern Brazil. The path crosses the South Atlantic and swings south of the African continent with no other landfall except for tiny Gough Island. The path finally ends at sunset in the Indian Ocean south of Madagascar. A partial eclipse will be seen from within the much broader path of the Moon's penumbral shadow including all of South America, southern Mexico and Central America, and most of Africa south of the equator. Detailed predictions for this event are presented and include tables of geographic coordinates of the path of totality, local circumstances for hundreds of cities, maps of the path of total and partial eclipse, weather prospects, and the lunar limb profile.
