Copernicus in Computers & PCs Resource Directory

    

This screen dump shows the eclipse of the sun on 11 August 1999 as would have been seen from Leeds UK. The zoom window on the eclipse is brought up by simply dragging the mouse pointer over the area of interest in one of the star maps. Unfortunately for those of us who live in Leeds the eclipse was not total, but telling Copernicus to draw the map from a suitable south of England location results in a total eclipse being shown. The software is accurate enough to tell whether an eclipse is annular, partial, total or a near miss when viewed from any point on the globe.
