Landing page captured for the 2026-09-11 issue.

Field notes

Sarosium serves 458 ephemeris windows alongside the page and uses cubic Hermite interpolation between sampled Moon and Sun positions and velocities. Its stated computation incorporates JPL DE441 data, WGS84 geodetic observers, Earth rotation, light-time corrections, and a ΔT treatment that combines USNO observations through 2026 with later estimates. The page also exposes unminified JavaScript and a browser-based validation control, making the calculation inspectable rather than presenting only finished eclipse maps.
