   T - universal time ( TDT - UT1 = 69.0s);
   s - the angular distance between the centers of the Moon and the shadow;
   d - the linear distance between the Moon's center and that of the shadow
       in terms of the shadow's radius;
   P - the position angle of the Moon's disk semi-diameter directed towards
       the shadow's center.
