% Computes eclipses.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form:
[n, eclipseType] = Eclipse( rSC, rSource, rPlanet, radiusPlanet, radiusSource )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
Inputs
------
rSC (3,:) Position vector of the spacecraft with
respect to the planet
rSource (3,: or 1) Position vector of the light source
rPlanet (3,: or 1) Position vector of the planet causing the eclipse
(default is zeros)
radiusPlanet (1,1) Radius of the planet causing the eclipse
(default is the Earth)
radiusSource (1,1) Radius of the light source (default is the sun)
-------
Outputs
-------
n (1,:) Normalized Source intensity ( 0 < n < 1 )
eclipseType (1,:) 0 = none 1 = partial, 2 = annular 3 = total
