Information about the eclipse 是次日食資料

A total solar eclipse will occur on December 14 (December 14-15 Hong Kong Time) in the southern hemisphere. The path of totality strikes Earth near 14:30 UTC (22:30 HKT) in the tropical Pacific just south of the equator. It moves southeast across the southeastern Pacific, reaching coastal Chile at around 16:00 UTC (00:00 HKT). The umbral shadow then traverses central Argentina, with maximum eclipse at 16:13 UTC (00:13 HKT). It enters the Atlantic Ocean a few minutes later, and moves east-northeast towards southern Africa. However, the umbral shadow will lift off the Earth's surface at about 17:55 UTC (01:55 HKT), before it reaches land again.

Outside the path of totality, a partial eclipse can be observed in central and southern South America, southeastern Pacific, southern Atlantic and parts of Antarctica.

一次日全食將於 12 月 14 日 (香港時間 12 月 14 至 15 日) 於南半球發生。當日,全食帶於世界協調時約 14:30 (香港時間 22:30) 進入赤道稍南的熱帶太平洋。全食帶將向東南移動,橫過太平洋東南部並於世界協調時約 16:00 (香港時間 00:00) 到達智利沿岸。月球本影其後橫過阿根廷中部,最大食將於世界協調時約 16:13 (香港時間 00:13) 發生,數分鐘後本影進入大西洋,之後向東北偏東移動,移向非洲南部。然而,月球本影將於世界協調時約 17:55 (香港時間 01:55) 離開地球表面,屆時本影區尚未到達陸地。

在全食帶以外,南美洲中南部、太平洋東南部、南大西洋及南極洲部分地區將可見日偏食。

最大食時資料 (即月影軸最近地心一刻)
Location 位置 40°20.1' S, 68°15.0' W (in central Argentina 在阿根廷中部)
Time 時間 Dec 14 16:13:29 UTC / Dec 15 00:13:29 HKT
Magnitude 食分 1.0254
Duration of totality 全食持續時間 2' 09.7''
Width of totality 全食徑寬度 90.2 km 公里
Solar Altitude and Azimuth 該位置的太陽高度和方位角 Altitude 高度: 72.7° ; Azimuth 方位角: 010.3° (N 北)

* Times are slightly different (a few seconds) from those indicated in the figure from NASA above due to the difference in observed and predicted values of ΔT. The current prediction of the value of ΔT on the eclipse date is 69.3 seconds.

* 由於實測及預計 ΔT 值有數秒的差距,表中所列時間與上面美國太空總署圖片中所示時間有些微差別。按照目前估計,日食日期的 ΔT 值為 69.3 秒。

Note that unlike lunar eclipse, not all places experience these times as the moon moves across the sky (and so does its shadow). They serve to show the times at which there exists at least a location on Earth that can experience those events.

不同於月食,由於月球和它的影子在地球上不是靜止不動,不同的地方將於不同的時間見到日食。以上的一般性資料為全球性資訊;它們並不代表某個地方的日食時間。

Circumstances for major cities 各大城市日食概況

The path of totality passes through the following major countries/regions (areas where the path only briefly passes through are not included):

全食帶經過以下主要國家和地區 (不包含食帶只剛剛擦過的地點) :

The following table lists the circumstances for some major cities where the eclipse can be observed:

下表顯示部分可觀是次日食城市的概況 :

This eclipse will occur on December 14 in UTC, but December 14-15 in Hong Kong Time. Hence the first lines in the cells below (HKT) are times on December 14 or 15, while the second lines (local time) are for December 14. The time zone for Hong Kong is GMT+8 hours. 是次日食於國際協調時 12 月 14 日發生,但香港時間則為 12 月 14 至 15 日,因此下表中每格第一行 (香港時間) 為 12 月 14 或 15 日時間,而次行 (當地時間) 則為 12 月 14 日時間。香港的時區為東八區。

Notes 備註 :

  1. A solar eclipse always starts as partial eclipse starts or at sunrise, and always ends as partial eclipse finishes or at sunset. 日食必會於日出或初虧時開始,而於日落或復圓時結束。
  2. Time of maximum eclipse is not shown if an observer at that location can only see less than half of the eclipse; such places must experience maximum eclipse at sunrise or sunset. 如某地只見到少於一半日食過程,食甚時間必為日出或日落,因此不再另外顯示。
  3. For each time, the first line refers to HKT and the second line local time; daylight saving has been accounted for. 首行時間為香港時間;次行時間為當地時間 (已包含日光節約時間)
  4. Abbreviations: "R" = Sunrise; "A" = Annular eclipse; "T" = Total eclipse; "S" = Sunset. 縮寫 : "R" = 日出; "A" = 環食; "T" = 全食; "S" = 日落。
  5. Central eclipse refers to totality or annularity. 中心食即全食或環食階段。
