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, 1680–1661 BC

31 Mar, 1680 BC
max: 17:31 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.42; Saros 5)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 25 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 42% 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 27 minutes in total.
   
15 Apr, 1680 BC
max: 23:22 UT

max: 16:30 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.31; Saros 23)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 31% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 10 minutes.
27 Oct, 1664 BC
max: 21:49 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.03; Saros -10)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 3% of the Moon's disc for 52 minutes and 30 seconds, which was essentially impossible to see.
   
10 Nov, 1664 BC
max: 22:57 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.95; Saros 16)
The Sun was 95% covered in a moderate annular eclipse, lasting 5 minutes and 40 seconds and covering a broad path up to 189 km wide.
26 Nov, 1664 BC
max: 10:24 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.61; Saros 28)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 61% 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 23 minutes.
22 Apr, 1663 BC
max: 10:43 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.82; Saros -5)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 82% 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 58 minutes.
   
7 May, 1663 BC
max: 23:15 UT
Hybrid Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.02; Saros 21)
The Sun was darkened for 1 minute and 28 seconds by a dramatic hybrid eclipse covering a narrow path at most 58 km wide. This was a sight worth seeing.
21 May, 1663 BC
max: 20:54 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.03; Saros 33)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 3% of the Moon's disc for 53 minutes and 18 seconds, which was essentially impossible to see.
17 Oct, 1663 BC
max: 04:44 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.13; Saros 0)
At maximum eclipse, a small bite out of the Moon should have been visible. The eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 25 minutes, with just 13% of the Moon in shadow at maximum.
   
31 Oct, 1663 BC
max: 07:13 UT
Hybrid Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.00; Saros 26)
A fleeting hybrid eclipse covered a narrow path at most 15 km wide and lasted for just 20 seconds at the point of maximum eclipse.
12 Apr, 1662 BC
max: 01:07 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.29; Saros 5)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 14 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 29% 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 22 minutes in total.
   
27 Apr, 1662 BC
max: 06:01 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.81; Saros 31)
This was a deep partial eclipse, with 81% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center. This provided a significant spectacle for those who saw it.
6 Oct, 1662 BC
max: 05:06 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.35; Saros 10)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 27 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 35% 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 48 minutes in total.
   
20 Oct, 1662 BC
max: 21:23 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.79; Saros 36)
A moderate partial eclipse, with 79% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, created an interesting spectacle.
16 Mar, 1661 BC
max: 15:55 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.96; Saros 3)
The Sun was 96% covered in a moderate annular eclipse, lasting just moments and covering only an extremely narrow strip.
   
31 Mar, 1661 BC
max: 18:13 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.13; Saros 15)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 51 minutes and 18 seconds. The Moon was 13% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 14 minutes in total.
10 Sep, 1661 BC
max: 02:11 UT
Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.01; Saros 8)
The Sun was darkened for 47 seconds by a dramatic total eclipse covering a path up to 95 km wide. This was a sight worth seeing.
   
24 Sep, 1661 BC
max: 05:09 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.00; Saros 20)
The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for a brief 9 minutes and 18 seconds. With the Moon just barely inside the Earth's umbral shadow, the Moon may have been quite bright, but even so, this should have been worth seeing. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 27 minutes in total.
