On the Eclipse of Hipparchus (2019)

unapi

We investigate the date of observation of the Hipparchus eclipse using our latest measurement of historical variations in the Earth’s rotation to plot the tracks of the potential eclipses. We conclude that Hipparchus most probably analysed the eclipse of −189 in deriving the distance to the Moon, as concluded by Toomer in 1974.
