Drag to rotate · scroll to zoom · double-click the globe to set the observer anywhere. Dotted orange line = center of the umbra's path. Sun–Moon–Earth frames all three bodies — the dark cone behind the Moon is the umbra; where its tip touches Earth is where the eclipse is total. (Sun distance and size are compressed for the diagram; its direction, the Moon, and all shadow geometry are true to scale.) For the big picture: pick Range: 3 months, the Sun-centered orrery frame, and play at 1 d/s — the Earth slides along its yearly orbit while the Moon loops around it, and the shadow cone only sweeps across Earth around new Moon on eclipse day.
