Events Captured
This study finds lunar eclipses that fall on a critical degree, or hotspot. An event is recorded when a lunar eclipse conjuncts one of your hotspot degrees within the study's transit orb, over the study's date range.
An Eclipse Types checklist limits the results to the eclipse types you want to include, and the degrees treated as hotspots are defined in the Hotspot Degrees table.
