Below are original maps that I have published. I work in the geographic information systems (GIS) industry and use the ArcGIS mapping software of my employer, www.esri.com.


Many of these maps apply contributions from others. My main tool for eclipse computations is Solar Eclipse Maestro, which I highly recommend if you are interested in precise eclipse predictions. Xavier Jubier has kindly customized Solar Eclipse Maestro so that I have optimal input of eclipse circumstances into GIS software.

Earlier eclipse maps on this website use eclipse calculations provided by Bill Kramer, www.eclipse-chasers.com. All of the eclipse maps are based on eclipse elements calculated by Fred Espenak, http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov and http://mreclipse.com.
