This catalog has a page for every eclipse from 2000 BC to 3000 AD, 23,962 in all, shown in groups of 20 years at a time. You can go to any eclipse by selecting the milennium, century and 20-year period from the navigation tabs above; then click on an eclipse's date in the list below to to go its page.

You can see the solar or lunar eclipses separately by clicking "Solar Eclipses" or "Lunar Eclipses" in the top-right tabs.

All Eclipses, 1580–1561 BC

5 May, 1580 BC
max: 00:27 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.68; Saros -4)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 68% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth (none of it was in total shadow), which caused a gentle shadow gradient across its disc at maximum; the eclipse as a whole lasted 3 hours and 31 minutes.
   
19 May, 1580 BC
max: 04:51 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.96; Saros 22)
The Sun was 96% covered in a moderate annular eclipse, lasting 4 minutes and 58 seconds and covering a path up to 142 km wide.
3 Jun, 1580 BC
max: 07:28 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.39; Saros 34)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 41 minutes, just 39% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
28 Oct, 1580 BC
max: 10:04 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.93; Saros 1)
At maximum eclipse, 93% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth, which caused a slight shadow gradient across its disc; this subtle effect may have been visible to careful observers. No part of the Moon was in complete shadow. The eclipse lasted 4 hours and 22 minutes overall.
   
12 Nov, 1580 BC
max: 23:03 UT
Hybrid Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.01; Saros 27)

Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.02; Saros 7)
The Sun was darkened for 1 minute and 18 seconds by a dramatic total eclipse covering a broad path up to 186 km wide. This was a sight worth seeing.

Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.05; Saros 17)

19 Dec, 1563 BC
max: 11:12 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.60; Saros 29)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 50 minutes, just 60% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
16 May, 1562 BC
max: 07:50 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.54; Saros -4)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 12 minutes, just 54% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
   
30 May, 1562 BC
max: 11:23 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.96; Saros 22)
The Sun was 96% covered in a moderate annular eclipse, lasting 4 minutes and 37 seconds and covering a path up to 135 km wide.
14 Jun, 1562 BC
max: 14:58 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.51; Saros 34)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 3 minutes, just 51% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
8 Nov, 1562 BC
max: 18:34 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.94; Saros 1)
At maximum eclipse, 94% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth, which caused a slight shadow gradient across its disc; this subtle effect may have been visible to careful observers. No part of the Moon was in complete shadow. The eclipse lasted 4 hours and 22 minutes overall.
   
24 Nov, 1562 BC
max: 07:53 UT
Hybrid Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.01; Saros 27)
The Sun was darkened for 51 seconds by a dramatic hybrid eclipse covering a narrow path at most 31 km wide. This was a sight worth seeing.
4 May, 1561 BC
max: 20:01 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.88; Saros 6)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 3 hours and 12 minutes, with 88% of the Moon in darkness at maximum.
   
18 May, 1561 BC
max: 17:29 UT
Hybrid Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.01; Saros 32)
A fleeting hybrid eclipse covered a narrow path at most 32 km wide and lasted for 37 seconds at the point of maximum eclipse.
28 Oct, 1561 BC
max: 04:36 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.25; Saros 11)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 10 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 25% of its diameter inside the Earth's umbral shadow. The visual effect of this depends on the state of the Earth's atmosphere, but the Moon may have been stained a deep red colour. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 23 minutes in total.
   
12 Nov, 1561 BC
max: 16:42 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.63; Saros 37)
A moderate partial eclipse, with 63% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, created an interesting spectacle.
