The Total Solar Eclipse of 1999 August 11

This is a Web implementation of the NASA Eclipse Bulletin for the 1999 August 11 total solar eclipse. The hardcopy NASA Reference Publications are at best in short supply, and in any case the Web is probably the best medium for the dissemination of this information, especially for those people with network access who do not really need hardcopies of every page (though you can use your Web viewer to make hardcopies as needed).

You can start with the table of contents, the list of figures, the list of tables, or the list of maps. Since we generally do not have time to add more than the most simple-minded of hypertext links to the text (e.g. linking consecutive sections of the Bulletin and the sections to the table of contents), we recommend using the table of contents as the most useful entry point.

Other NASA eclipse bulletins currently available on the Web include:

A Portable Document Format (PDF) version, the original Microsoft Word for Macintosh files, Microsoft Word for Windows versions of the same files, as well as the figures, maps, and tables, are available via anonymous ftp.
The original hardcopy Bulletin, NASA Reference Publication 1398, was written by Fred Espenak (NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland, USA) and Jay Anderson (Prairie Weather Center, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada). As of 1999 June 1, NASA RP 1398 is officially out of print, since the authors have exhausted their supplies of hardcopies.

You can request hardcopies of other Eclipse Bulletins from the authors (see the projected publication schedule in the preface by using the request form in this Bulletin. Note that you must include a SASE (self-addressed, stamped envelope) with postage for 12 ounces (340 grams) with your request. Do not send cash or checks!
