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.Available for these objects: Aircraft, GroundVehicle, LaunchVehicle, Missile, Satellite, Ship
Type: Interval data. Intended to be used only with elements from this same data provider.
Availability: Reports
Data Provider Elements
| Name | Dimension | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Penumbra Start Time | Date | Real Number or Text | Start time of an available interval. |
| Umbra Start Time | Date | Real Number or Text | Start time of an available interval. |
| Umbra Stop Time | Date | Real Number or Text | Stop time of an available interval. |
| Penumbra Stop Time | Date | Real Number or Text | Stop time of an available interval. |
| Umbra Duration | Time | Real Number | Duration of the interval. |
| Penumbra Duration | Time | Real Number | Duration of the interval. |
| Total Duration | Time | 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 | Date | Real Number or Text | The time at which the minimum solar intensity is reached. |
| Penumbra Start Pass Number | Unitless | Text | For Satellites, pass number at the penumbra start time; other objects will report N/A. |
| Umbra Start Pass Number | Unitless | Text | For Satellites, pass number at the umbra start time; other objects will report N/A. |
| Umbra Stop Pass Number | Unitless | Text | For Satellites, pass number at the umbra stop time; other objects will report N/A. |
| Penumbra Stop Pass Number | Unitless | Text | For Satellites, pass number at the penumbra stop time; other objects will report N/A. |
| Penumbra Start Path Number | Unitless | Text | For Satellites, path number at the penumbra start time; other objects will report N/A. |
| Umbra Start Path Number | Unitless | Text | For Satellites, path number at the umbra start time; other objects will report N/A. |
| Umbra Stop Path Number | Unitless | Text | For Satellites, path number at the umbra stop time; other objects will report N/A. |
| Penumbra Stop Path Number | Unitless | Text | For Satellites, path number at the penumbra stop time; other objects will report N/A. |
