Globes with reconstructed shadow paths on Earth and the locations of the observing stations in Table 2. Darker-gray portions of Earth are in darkness at the times of the occultations. The solid lines indicate the top, middle, and bottom of the solid-body shadows, and the arrows show the directions of motion of the shadows. Pluto’s diameter is assumed to be 2377 km. The black dots indicate the geocentric closest approaches in the centers of the shadow paths.
