Eclipse Dates
Solar and lunar events with local contact altitudes.
Calculated for 2027. Global eclipse type describes the alignment; the contact tables below show whether the Sun or Moon is above your selected place’s horizon at each event. A positive centre altitude near 0° remains sensitive to terrain and atmospheric conditions. Sutak and temple closures are not inferred from these astronomical contacts.

Lunar contacts are global instants. Altitudes are calculated separately for your place; below-horizon contacts cannot be observed there. The penumbral phase is distinct from the darker partial and total phases.
