## Overview

The Lunar Eclipse Calculator provides precise dates and classifications for lunar eclipses occurring between 1900 and 2100. Whether you are planning an observation or researching historical astronomical events, this tool delivers accurate data for any selected year.

## Inputs

- **Year** (number): Enter year (1900-2100)
- **Show Next Eclipse** (checkbox): Show the next upcoming lunar eclipse

## When to use

- When planning stargazing trips or photography sessions for specific lunar events.
- When researching the frequency and types of lunar eclipses over a multi-year period.
- When verifying the dates of historical or future celestial occurrences.

## How it works

- Enter the target year between 1900 and 2100 into the input field.
- Toggle the 'Show Next Eclipse' option if you want to identify the immediate upcoming event.
- Click the calculate button to generate a list of eclipse dates and their specific types for that year.

## Use cases

- Astronomy enthusiasts planning their observation schedule for the upcoming year.
- Educators creating lesson plans about lunar cycles and celestial mechanics.
- Photographers tracking 'blood moon' events to prepare equipment and travel.

- [APACHE II Score Calculator](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/apache-ii-score): Calculate the APACHE II (Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II) ICU severity score. APACHE II = Acute Physiology Score (12 variables, each 0–4 using the worst value in the first 24 h) + Age points (0–6) + Chronic Health points (0/2/5). Range 0–71; higher scores indicate worse prognosis. Oxygenation uses the A-a gradient when FiO₂ ≥ 0.5, otherwise PaO₂. Creatinine points are doubled when acute renal failure is indicated. GCS contributes 15 − GCS. Also reports the base-model predicted mortality: R = 1/(1 + e^(−logit)), logit = −3.517 + 0.146 × score (diagnostic-category weight not included). Thresholds cross-verified against Knaus 1985 (Crit Care Med) and the SFAR scoring table. Not a substitute for clinical judgement. Not medical advice.
