## Overview

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

## Inputs

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

## When to use

- Planning travel for solar eclipse observation or photography.
- Verifying the exact date and type of a past or future solar eclipse.
- Creating educational materials or astronomical calendars.

## How it works

- Enter the target year between 1900 and 2100 into the input field.
- Toggle the 'Show Next Eclipse' option to identify the immediate upcoming event.
- Submit your request to generate a list of eclipse dates and their specific types for the selected year.

## Use cases

- Astronomy enthusiasts planning trips to the path of totality.
- Teachers preparing lesson plans on celestial mechanics.
- Researchers documenting solar eclipse occurrences for historical archives.

## Frequently asked questions

### What range of years does this calculator support?

The calculator supports any year from 1900 to 2100.

### Can I see the next upcoming solar eclipse?

Yes, by enabling the 'Show Next Eclipse' checkbox, the tool will display the date and type of the next solar eclipse relative to your current search.

### What types of solar eclipses are identified?

The tool identifies total, annular, partial, and hybrid solar eclipses.

### Is the data accurate for historical research?

Yes, the calculations are based on standard astronomical algorithms for the 1900-2100 timeframe.

### Does this tool show lunar eclipses?

No, this tool is specifically designed to calculate solar eclipse data only.

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.
