-
A.
Besselian elements
chosen
Besselian elements are mathematical parameters introduced by Friedrich Bessel that precisely describe the geometry and timing of a solar eclipse as seen from Earth.
-
B.
Besselian year
A Besselian year is a time interval used in astronomy, defined with respect to the Sun’s mean position relative to the stars and historically used as a reference for star catalogs and celestial coordinates.
-
C.
Saros cycle
The Saros cycle is an approximately 18-year period after which nearly identical solar and lunar eclipses repeat, due to the alignment of the Earth, Moon, and Sun.
-
D.
Newcomb tables of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars
The Newcomb tables of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars are a set of highly accurate 19th-century astronomical tables computed by Simon Newcomb that were long used to predict the positions and motions of these celestial bodies.
-
E.
Keplerian orbital elements
Keplerian orbital elements are a set of parameters that uniquely describe the size, shape, and orientation of an orbit and the position of an orbiting body along that path.
- F. None of above.
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
