Computing the Eclipse: Astronomy in the Wolfram Language

Stephen Wolfram

Basic Eclipse Computation It’s taken millennia to get to the point where it’s possible to accurately compute eclipses. But now—as a tiny part of making “everything in the world” computablecomputation about eclipses is just a built-in feature of the Wolfram Language. The core function is SolarEclipse.

Launching Version 13.0 of Wolfram Language + Mathematica

Stephen Wolfram

All the functions in Abramowitz & Stegun are now fully computable in the Wolfram Language. And from the “worst-case” way the interval was computed this now provides a definite theorem. We’ve also built our groundbreaking symbolic computational geometry system that lets us flexibly describe regions for PDEs.
