The instant of greatest eclipse takes place on 2072 Mar 19 at 20:10:31 TD (20:08:50 UT1). This is 3.6 days after the Moon reaches apogee. During the eclipse, the Sun is in the constellation Pisces. The synodic month in which the eclipse takes place has a Brown Lunation Number of 1846.
The eclipse belongs to Saros 150 and is number 20 of 71 eclipses in the series. All eclipses in this series occur at the Moons descending node. The Moon moves northward with respect to the node with each succeeding eclipse in the series and gamma increases.
This is a very deep partial eclipse. It has an eclipse magnitude of 0.7199, while Gamma has a value of -1.1405.
The partial solar eclipse of 2072 Mar 19 is preceded two weeks earlier by a total lunar eclipse on 2072 Mar 04.
These eclipses all take place during a single eclipse season.
The eclipse predictions are given in both Terrestrial Dynamical Time (TD) and Universal Time (UT1). The parameter ΔT is used to convert between these two times (i.e., UT1 = TD - ΔT). ΔT has a value of 101.3 seconds for this eclipse.
