Satellite: Eclipse Summary
Provides summary information for each eclipse. Note that the Eclipse Summary data provider reports the start and stop times of penumbra which, if umbra exists, occur before and after umbra, respectively. This means that if the Eclipse Summary is generated in cases when it starts in umbra, then the start of penumbra is reported as "No Data" because it occurred prior to the start of reported data.
Type:
Interval data. Intended to be used only with elements from this same data provider.

| Name | Dimension | Type | Description |

| Penumbra Start Time | DateFormat | Real Number or Text | Start time of an available interval. |
| Umbra Start Time | DateFormat | Real Number or Text | Start time of an available interval. |
| Umbra Stop Time | DateFormat | Real Number or Text | Stop time of an available interval. |
| Penumbra Stop Time | DateFormat | Real Number or Text | Stop time of an available interval. |
| Umbra Duration | TimeUnit | Real Number | Duration of the interval. |
| Penumbra Duration | TimeUnit | Real Number | Duration of the interval. |
| Total Duration | TimeUnit | Real Number | Total duration of the contiguous time period of partial illumination which contains the current interval. The contiguous time period of partial illumination may contain abutting and/or overlapping eclipse intervals from one or more eclipsing bodies. For the typical case of eclipsing by only the Earth, this represents the duration of the abutted penumbra-umbra-penumbra intervals. |
| Obstruction | Unitless | Text | Name of the obstructing central body |
| Min Intensity | Unitless | Real Number | Minimum solar intensity during each eclipse interval. |
| Max Percent Shadow | Unitless | Real Number | One minus the minimum solar intensity, expressed as a percentage. |
| Time at Min Intensity | DateFormat | Real Number | The time at which the minimum solar intensity is reached. |
| Penumbra Start Pass Number | Unitless | Text | Not defined for this class of object. |
| Umbra Start Pass Number | Unitless | Text | Not defined for this class of object. |
| Umbra Stop Pass Number | Unitless | Text | Not defined for this class of object. |
| Penumbra Stop Pass Number | Unitless | Text | Not defined for this class of object. |
