Lunar eclipse event entries are named by the lunar eclipse date, year and money as 4 digits. For example 200012 means December 2000.

Data fields used:
 * 1) y = year
 * 2) m = month
 * 3) d = day of month (for UTC time at greatest eclipse)
 * 4) t = time of greatest eclipse (UTC) hour:min:sec
 * 5) h = hour of greatest eclipse (UTC)
 * 6) m = minute of greatest eclipse (UTC)
 * 7) imphoto = photo of eclipse (if past event)
 * 8) capphoto = caption with photo
 * 9) imearth = image of Earth as viewed from Moon showing visibility
 * 10) imwide = image of Moon in sky from center of Earth, wide angle showing constellation
 * 11) capwide = Caption text with wide image
 * 12) imclose = image of Moon's hourly timing passing through Earth's shadow
 * 13) ty = type (N=penumbral, P=partial, T=total)
 * 14) nd = node of eclipse (D=descending, A=Ascending)
 * 15) sa = Saros series index
 * 16) dt = duration of totality
 * 17) dp = duration of partiality
 * 18) dn = duration of eclipse
 * 19) ga = gamma = fractional distance of Moon's center to the Earth center, in lunar radii (negative for southward)
 * 20) ra = Right ascension of Moon at greatest eclipse in hours
 * 21) de = Declination of Moon at greatest eclipse in degrees north
 * 22) p1 = Time of first contact with penumbral shadow (Beginning of partiality)
 * 23) p2 = Time of last contact with penumbral shadow (Beginning of partiality)
 * 24) u1 = Time of first contact with umbral shadow (Beginning of partiality)
 * 25) u2 = Time of second contact with umbral shadow (Beginning of totality)
 * 26) u3 = Time of third contact with umbral shadow (Ending of totality)
 * 27) u4 = Time of forth contact with umbral shadow (Ending of partiality)
 * 28) ch = NASA chart URL link
 * 29) Tlast = wlink of previous total lunar eclipse
 * 30) Tnext = wlink of next total lunar eclipse
 * 31) Elast = wlink of previous lunar eclipse
 * 32) Enext = wlink of next lunar eclipse
 * 33) Slast = wlink of previous lunar eclipse of the same saros series
 * 34) Snext = wlink of next lunar eclipse of the same saros series
