For anyone looking for more resources ahead of the April 8, 2024, eclipse (especially Wolfram Language resources for computing and analyzing eclipses), check out Stephen Wolfram's new book "Predicting the Eclipse: A Multimillennium Tale of Computation". You get a copy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Predicting-Eclipse-Multimillennium-Tale-Computation/dp/1579550878

I should add that if you are not using Mathematica 10.1, you might have additional problems with the presented code. It makes use of: http://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/TakeLargestBy.html If you have an older 10.0 or even earlier, this code won't work without modification.

Hello, I found that planetaryMoonData & StaData not function as before. Two days ago, they still work correctly. Now they can not accept "moon", "star". The code example from wolfram Language Documentation PlanetaryMoonData Scope now can not accept date object. moon now must use entityClass as the code you post here. Could you find out what is going on?

Your comments are not entirely clear. The issue with supporting dates is a known recent problem dealing with how dates are exposed via EntityValue (used by StarData and PlanetaryMoonData under-the-hood). Its more general and doesn't affect the Alpha website, its only in the exposed data that the problem presents. It was fixed this morning internally but will take some time to be tested before being pushed out since the fix touches a number of components. It would be better to report such issues to support@wolfram.com since that is a more appropriate forum for reporting and tracking issues.
