Timezone / Date

You have not selected a timezone for eclipse timings, so all times are shown in UT (essentially GMT).

Accuracy

Due to the erratic rotation of the Earth, the time and location of the eclipse cannot be forecast perfectly. This eclipse's time is estimated to be accurate ± 26m08s (with 95% confidence). This equates to an error in longitude of ± 6 degrees, or around ± 352 km (219 miles) at the latitude of greatest eclipse.

A partial eclipse of the Sun occurred on 23 October, 1087 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 11:19 UT. With only 8% of the Sun covered at maximum eclipse, this was a very marginal eclipse at best, and rather uninteresting.

Maximum eclipse was at 11:19:07 UT.
