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.
