The following key gives detailed descriptions of each column in the Solar Eclipse Decade Tables.

Column     Heading     Definition/Description
          
   1      Calendar     Calendar Date at instant of Greatest Eclipse. 
            Date       Gregorian Calendar is used for dates after 1582 Oct 15.  
                       Julian Calendar is used for dates before 1582 Oct 04.

   5       Eclipse     Eclipse magnitude is the fraction of the Sun's 
          Magnitude    diameter obscured by the Moon. For annular, total and
