%X We investigate the date of observation of the Hipparchus eclipse using our latest measurement of historical variations in the Earth¡¯s rotation to plot the tracks of the potential eclipses. We conclude that Hipparchus most probably analysed the eclipse of £¿189 in deriving the distance to the Moon, as concluded by Toomer in 1974
