Eclipse simulator
Everything below is computed from the eclipse's Besselian elements for the exact place and instant you choose — the Moon's size relative to the Sun, which way up the bite appears, how far the Sun has sunk, and which planets come out. Drag the sky to look around; scrub time with the slider.
