Explanations to the table of the ephemerides
of the mutual occultations and eclipses of the natural satellites.

Date begin: h m s - moment of the start of event.
end: h m s - moment of the end of event.
Type - type of the event is given in the form "nEm" or "nOm" where n is the number
    of eclipsing or occulting satellite, m is the number of eclipsed or occulted one.
    "E" denotes an eclipse and "O" denotes an occultation.
Dur(m) - expected duration of the event in minutes.
Impact - impact factor which is equal to zero if the event is a central passage
    of satellite through the shadow or through the apparent disk of another satellite.
    Impact factor is equal to unit in the case of a grazing event.
m - combined magnitude of the pair of satellites in the event.
Δm - expected maximum drop of the combined magnitude.
limb(") - angular apparent distance of the occulted or eclipsed satellite from the limb of the planet (in arcseconds).
dist(") - angular apparent distance of the eclipsed satellite from the eclipsing one (in arcseconds).
Planet(º) - elevation of the planet above the horizon (in degrees).
Sun(º) - angular apparent depth of the Sun under the horizon (in degrees).
Moon phase - Moon phase (0.0 for new Moon, 1.000 for full Moon).
