Elevations are from SRTM, a radar instrument flown on Space Shuttle Endeavour during the STS-99 mission. Lunar topography, used for precise shadow calculations, is from NASA LRO laser altimetry and JAXA Kaguya stereo imaging. Planetary positions are from the JPL DE421 ephemeris.

Shapefiles

The map was rendered in animation software, but maps are more typically created using geographic information system (GIS) tools and vector datasets. A set of shapefiles describing the umbra and penumbra extents is provided below in two Zip archives, one for small-scale (global) maps and the other for larger-scale mapping.
