How these times are calculated

Eclipse times are calculated with the astronomy-engine library and agree with NASA’s published eclipse data to within about a minute. Lunar eclipse contacts are the same everywhere; whether they can be seen depends on the Moon being above your horizon. Solar eclipse times are for your exact location. Penumbral lunar eclipses are not listed because they are not traditionally observed. Sutak traditionally begins 12 hours before a solar and 9 hours before a lunar eclipse and applies only where the eclipse is visible; practices vary by family and tradition.

Traditions may vary by region and Panchang convention. Times are shown for the selected place, time zone and calculation profile.
