Talk:List of 21st century lunar eclipses

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I moved this 21st century listing from List of lunar eclipses since it was so long.

I removed two columns that were largely empty, added a column for Ascending/Descending nodes (and colored background by this). I'd like to add colums for the Saros cycle #, an series #. I might support removal of the start/end times, especially if stub articles could be created for all of them, but the times can be computed approximately from the duration, so its still justifiable to remove.

Well, still just playing around. A serious effort would be more systematic, too easy to make mistakes on hand-editing, so getting an automated table builder from an external source would be superior. Tom Ruen (talk) 03:04, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Why are 20th-century eclipses included?

It is confusing to include eclipses from the 20th century (1998 to 2000) in a list that specifically states that the eclipses listed are from the 21st century. Why do this? -- B.D.Mills  (T, C) 03:07, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

There is no special local to breaking up by centuries other than convenience. I added a few redundant eclipses to complete the current "lunar eclipse year" cycle. SockPuppetForTomruen (talk) 20:58, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
