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.

2 Jan, 1600 BC
max: 12:21 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.55; Saros 35)
A moderate partial eclipse, with 55% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, created an interesting spectacle.

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.69; Saros 32)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 69% 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 4 hours and 2 minutes.

Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.35; Saros -1)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 35% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 3 minutes.

Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.93; Saros 25)
A small annular eclipse covered only 93% of the Sun in a very broad path, 331 km wide at maximum, and lasted 10 minutes and 7 seconds.

max: 15:31 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.11; Saros 4)
At maximum eclipse, a small bite out of the Moon should have been visible. The eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 18 minutes, with just 11% of the Moon in shadow at maximum.

max: 23:12 UT
Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.06; Saros 30)
A dramatic total eclipse plunged the Sun into darkness for 5 minutes and 19 seconds at maximum, creating an amazing spectacle for observers in a broad path up to 206 km wide.

Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.56; Saros 9)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 35 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 56% 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 37 minutes in total.

max: 20:24 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.58; Saros 35)
A moderate partial eclipse, with 58% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, created an interesting spectacle.
11 Jun, 1582 BC
max: 00:59 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.20; Saros 2)
A small partial eclipse barely darkened the Sun. With just 20% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, this was of limited interest.
   
24 Jun, 1582 BC
max: 23:34 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.61; Saros 14)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 38 minutes plunged the full Moon into deep darkness, as it passed right through the centre of the Earth's umbral shadow. While the visual effect of a total eclipse is variable, the Moon may have been stained a deep orange or red colour at maximum eclipse. This was a great spectacle for everyone who saw it. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 39 minutes in total.
10 Jul, 1582 BC
max: 12:18 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.50; Saros 40)
A small partial eclipse barely darkened the Sun. With just 50% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, this was of limited interest.
4 Dec, 1582 BC
max: 17:04 UT
Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.02; Saros 7)
The Sun was darkened for 1 minute and 8 seconds by a dramatic total eclipse covering a broad path up to 160 km wide. This was a sight worth seeing.
   
20 Dec, 1582 BC
max: 02:46 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.78; Saros 19)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 3 hours and 9 minutes, with 78% of the Moon in darkness at maximum.
30 May, 1581 BC
max: 04:05 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.95; Saros 12)
The Sun was 95% covered in a moderate annular eclipse, lasting 4 minutes and 35 seconds and covering a very broad path, 278 km wide at maximum.

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

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.58; Saros 29)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 48 minutes, just 58% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
