World maps show the regions of visibility for each eclipse.
The lunar eclipse diagrams also include the path of the Moon through Earth's shadows. Contact times for each principal phase are tabulated along with the magnitudes and geocentric coordinates of the Sun and Moon at greatest eclipse. However, the first eclipse of 1999 is an exception since it falls into the unusual category of the total penumbral eclipse. In order for a penumbral eclipse to be total, the Moon must pass centrally through the penumbral annulus and its apparent diameter must not exceed the width of the penumbral ring. The first eclipse of 1999 occurs several weeks after Earth reaches perihelion, a time when the umbral and penumbral shadows are at their minimum and maximum diameters, respectively.
