USRA’s Ernie Wright at NASA’s Science Visualization Studio is the lead author of a paper recently published in The Astronomical Journal entitled, “A Raster-oriented Method for Creating Eclipse Maps.” The paper delineates a process to generate extremely accurate eclipse maps, which plot the predicted path of the Moon’s shadow as it crosses the face of Earth. The paper also shows for the first time, exactly how the Moon’s terrain creates the umbra shape—the true shape of the Moon’s central shadow. https://lnkd.in/eNQf_vnM
