[[image:20200621 Annular eclipse in Xiamen, China (cropped).jpg|thumb|[Image.] [[wikipedia:Solar eclipses|Solar eclipses]] are possible because (by coincidence) the apparent sizes of Sol and Luna are approximately equal.  When Luna passes in front of Sol, if Luna appears smaller than Sol, then an annular Solar eclipse occurs, and if Luna appears larger than Sol, then a total Solar eclipse occurs.  Photograph shows an Annular Solar Eclipse displaying the relative angular sizes of Luna and Sol.]]

== gallery ==
Unasterisked astronomical events listed are visible from Maryland and states adjacent to Maryland (the region of Maryland, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Virginia, District of Columbia, and Delaware).&ensp; Asterisked (*) astronomical events are visible from the Contiguous United States of America (USA) but require traveling more than one state over from Maryland.


<gallery>
Astronomical events are listed for the current year (2023) plus the following two years (2024 to 2025), the first occurence before the current year (before 2023), and the first occurrence after the two years following the current year (after 2025).&ensp; Listing the most recent past occurence and next future occurrence for an event provides an estimation of how rare the event is.

The simplest approximation of the mean distance (<var style="text-decoration: overline;">D</var>) from an observer in a heliocentric orbit to an astronomical object in the same solar system as the observer is as the orbital semimajor axis (<var>a</var>) of the observed object if the observed object is superior or as the orbital semimajor axis of the observer if the observed object is inferior.&ensp; For observers on Terra, the Terran orbital semimajor axis (<var>a</var><sub>🜨</sub>) can be approximated as one [[wikipedia:astronomical unit|astronomical unit]] (<var>l</var><sub>A</sub>).&ensp; For these calculations, satellites in orbit around the observer should be considered as superior objects and satellites not in orbit around the observer should use the satellite's heliocentric semimajor axis.

For [[wikipedia:small-angle approximation|small angles]], the mean angular diameter (<var style="text-decoration: overline;">δ</var>) can be approximated as the ratio between the observed object's mean diameter (<var style="text-decoration: overline;">d</var> = 2<var style="text-decoration: overline;">r</var>) and the observed object's mean distance.&ensp; The dimensionless ratio can be expressed in radians (<var>θ</var><sub>I</sub>) without an arcsine:

[Image.]  The most exciting astronomical events to add to your calendar are Solar eclipses.  This map shows the eclipse paths for all total and annular Solar eclipses from 2021 to 2040. [1] [2] [3]

Nicole Sharp's calendar of events.

Unasterisked astronomical events listed are visible from Maryland and states adjacent to Maryland (the region of Maryland, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Virginia, District of Columbia, and Delaware).  Asterisked (*) astronomical events are visible from the Contiguous United States of America (USA) but require traveling more than one state over from Maryland.

Astronomical events are listed for the current year (2023) plus the following two years (2024 to 2025), the first occurence before the current year (before 2023), and the first occurrence after the two years following the current year (after 2025).  Listing the most recent past occurence and next future occurrence for an event provides an estimation of how rare the event is.

Up to three times are given for each event: when the event begins, when the event is at maximum effect, and when the event ends.
