Go to Sirius InformationECLIPSE MAP:  An eclipse map is a map that shows the path of the shadow on the earth that is created during a solar eclipse.

Unlike other programs, in Sirius, you can view as many eclipse maps that you like from the year, -2900 (2900 BC) to year 2900 (2900 AD). The beginning date and time of the eclipse are also automatically listed right next to the beginning and end of the eclipse line. You can also easily zoom in and zoom out of the map.

In Sirius, it is possible to filter the specific Eclipse Map that you want to see based on date and year of the eclipse, or based on the following aspects: Conjunction, Opposition, Square, Trine, or Sextile with specific orbs.

When "All" is selected in the "List of Eclipses to select from", all eclipse will be listed in the pull down list of eclipses to select from regardless of what aspects and orbs are used.

When "Aspecting zodiac and degree only" is selected, only eclipses that occur at the zodiac degrees you select will be shown in the list of eclipses that you select eclipses from. You specify which degree you are interested in and the aspects to this degree. This feature allows you to select only eclipses that occur at particular zodiac degrees so you can select, for example, only eclipses that aspect a particular degree that interests you.

When "Aspecting zodiac and degree only" is selected you can select Conjunction, Opposition, Square, Trine, and Sextile. You can also enter the orb that you want in the "Aspect orb" box.

In the "Degree for eclipses" box, enter the degree (0-29) that you want to use to filter the eclipse map. Then in the "Sign of zodiac" box, select the zodiac sign that you want to use.

Display Eclipse Maximum Point: The date and time that an eclipse starts is given on the eclipse map at the point where the eclipse begins, and the date and time that an eclipse ends is given on the eclipse map at the point where the eclipse ends. If you check the "Display Eclipse Maximum Point" box, then the point on the map where the eclipse reaches its maximum along with the date and time that this occurs is displayed.

  • Sirius has the best Eclipse Map feature and is extremely user friendly!
During a solar eclipse, the Moon crosses the path of the Sun. When a solid object (the Moon in this case) is placed in front of a source of light (the Sun in this case) of course a shadow is created. When a solar eclipse occurs, a shadow appears on the earth, and as the Moon moves across the surface of the earth the shadow moves across the surface of the earth. The shadow is fairly narrow, so a path can be drawn on a map showing what this path is. The eclipse maps in Sirius show the path of the solar eclipse.
