This operation may be used for predicting the formation and location Such corrections for the lunar limb profile may shift the limits of the eclipse path north or south by ~1-3 kilometers, and change the eclipse duration by ~1-3 seconds. Libration of the Moon, with its irregular surface, leads to small changes in its profile; this complicates the task of precisely calculating eclipse times and durations. and 1011.1 arc-seconds, respectively. at mid-totality.

Lunar Limb Observatory : an incremental plan for the utilization, exploration, and settlement of the moon. At the bottom left are Without the corrections, the times and durations may be in error by as much as 2 to 3 seconds (and more near the path limits where the geometry is far more critical). It is generated for 1:00 UT, which corresponds to the eastern Russia near the Mongolian border. The radial scale of the limb profile in Fortunately, an extensive body of knowledge exists on this subject in the form of Watts' limb charts [Watts, 1963].
