Selectable Solar Eclipse Types List

The Selectable Solar Eclipse Types list appears on every solar-eclipse-based study (Solar Eclipses, Solar Eclipse Hotspots, Solar Eclipse Activations) and lists the four solar eclipse types Aquila can detect. The check mark in the column header is decorative; only the row checkboxes can be toggled.
