About Using Eclipse Map
The blue marker with eclipsed sun at the top shows the position of the greatest eclipse. The greatest eclipse is the point where the total eclipse can be observed for the maximum duration.
The green curve with the red central line represents the central line of the solar eclipse. Total solar eclipse can be observed from all points inside this curve which is also known as path of totality. Any location outside this curve would experience only partial eclipse.
By clicking on the map, local circumstances of the eclipse can be calculated. All timings in the popup window would be local to the current location of the user. If user's current location is set to some city in India and he clicks on the map to get start and end timings of the eclipse, visible only in Australia, then all displayed timings would be as per Indian Standard Time. One should change the location to some city in Australia to get local timings of Australia. By using search box labeled as
"Search for city" at the top of the page, the current location can be changed.
