An annular eclipse of the Sun occurred on Wednesday 27 May, 1835 UT (15 May, 1835 Old Style), with maximum eclipse at 13:35 UT. The Sun was 95% covered in a moderate annular eclipse, lasting 6 minutes and 44 seconds and covering a broad path up to 196 km wide.
The annular eclipse lasted for 6 minutes and 44 seconds.
Maximum eclipse was at 13:35:36 UT.
During this eclipse the Sun was 0.526° in apparent
diameter, 1.3% smaller than average. The Moon was just 2 days past apogee, making it very small.
At maximum eclipse it was 0.499° in
apparent diameter, which is 6.0% smaller than average; this was not
large enough to cover the Sun, which is why this
was an annular eclipse.
The statistics page has information on the ranges of the sizes of
the Sun and Moon, and the Moon data page displays detailed
information on the Moon's key dates.

The primary source of all the information on eclipses presented here at Hermit Eclipse. (NASA Goddard Space flight Center)
are in the TDT timescale.
The Sun and Moon distances are shown in km, and as a
percentage of their minimum - maximum distances; hence 0%
is the closest possible (Earth's perihelion, or the
Moon's closest possible perigee) and 100% is
the farthest (aphelion, the farthest apogee).
