# Lunar Eclipses

While scanning some [Capital Area Timex Sinclair (CATS)](http://localhost/usergroup/capital-area-timex-sinclair-users-group/) newsletters I ran across this program that will predict lunar eclipses for a given year. All though I found it in the CATS newsletter, the program was originally published in Sinc-Link newsletter by [Mel Richardson](http://localhost/indiv/mel-richardson/). The original code was written by Herbert Raab of Austria, using different code bits published in “Sky & Telescope” magazine. Mel converted the program to run on Sinclair BASIC.
