About the calculations

Disc geometry and contact times use NASA’s published 2027 Besselian elements, with ΔT = 71.7 s. Sky altitude and orientation are checked against Astronomy Engine. The map uses NASA’s path table and Natural Earth geography.

These are smooth-limb predictions. Lunar terrain can shift contacts by a few seconds; local terrain, buildings and changing atmospheric conditions are not modelled. Timezones follow the current timezone database and may change before 2027.

Coordinates: 25.69893°, 32.64210°. All durations are estimates.
