These graphics show how this eclipse is (or will be) seen in different
places of the World.
The movements of the Sun and the Moon are real, calculated using the
celestial mechanics formulation.
Not all the correction terms for Moon movement have been used because this
is only an approximation.
Eclipse time contacts are good in order of 5 minutes.
