Reproducible calculation

Settings carried with this data

These sky positions and event times are calculated with the settings below. They are kept separate from astrological interpretation and can be reproduced from the named engine.

Engine: Astronomy Engine 2.1.19 (MIT)
Coordinates: geocenter; ECT: true ecliptic of date
Corrections: Light time on; aberrationon
Time convention: UTC input; Astronomy Engine represents UT and approximates UT1 and UTC as equal
Zodiac: tropical; 0° Aries at the true equinox of date; 30° signs
Event tolerance: 1 second search tolerance

Displayed positions are rounded to 0.001°. Event files retain their calculated numeric values and full UTC timestamp. The one-second event-search tolerance is a numerical stopping rule, not a claim of cross-model accuracy; primary Moon-phase times are also compared with an independent source within five minutes.
