Abstract: Abstract The true position of the Earth’s shadow is said to be the sum of the true position of the Sun and a half-circle (180 degrees). Having determined the position of the Moon and the [Earth’s] shadow either at sunrise or at sunset, whichever is closer [to the conjunction], the time of their conjunction may be determined. If [the longitude of] the Moon is greater then the conjunction is over, and if it is less then it is yet to occur.
