How this calendar works.

Times are converted to Los Angeles local time using the IANA time zone database. Visibility is calculated from the Moon’s altitude at NASA’s published moment of greatest eclipse using 34.0522°, -118.2437° as the city-center location.

Terrain, buildings, haze, and the full duration of each eclipse can change what you actually observe. Use the interactive planner with your exact location for a more personal horizon check.
