Eclipse Database

This site is based on the 5,000 year eclipse catalogs from NASAGSFC Eclipse Web Site
The primary source of all the information on eclipses presented here at Hermit Eclipse. (NASA Goddard Space flight Center)
https://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse.html, and has data on every solar and lunar eclipse from 2000 BC to 3000 AD. We have data and individual pages for 11,898 solar eclipses and 12,064 lunar eclipses, for 23,962 eclipses in total; all of these can be accessed through this section.

If you just want an easy look at eclipses coming up in the near future, the When Will I See It page should help you out — it also has specific sections for UK and US eclipse hunters. But if you want more comprehensive information, these pages should have what you're looking for.

14 Mar, 2025 AD 03:57–10:00 UT Total Lunar Eclipse (umbral mag. 1.18; Saros 123)	A shallow total eclipse will see the Moon in relative darkness for 1 hour and 5 minutes. The Moon will be 18% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should be significantly darkened for viewers from the Americas and extreme western Africa. The partial eclipse will last for 3 hours and 38 minutes in total.
29 Mar, 2025 AD 08:50–12:43 UT Partial Solar Eclipse (umbral mag. 0.94; Saros 149)	This will be a deep partial eclipse, with 94% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center. This will provide a significant spectacle for those who will see it in Greenland, Iceland, northern and western Europe and north-west Africa.
7 Sep, 2025 AD 15:28–20:55 UT Total Lunar Eclipse (umbral mag. 1.36; Saros 128)	The Moon will be plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 22 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which will see the Moon 36% 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 be stained a deep red colour for observers in most of Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia. The partial eclipse will last for 3 hours and 29 minutes in total.
21 Sep, 2025 AD 17:29–21:53 UT Partial Solar Eclipse (umbral mag. 0.86; Saros 154)	This will be a deep partial eclipse, with 86% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center. This will provide a significant spectacle for those who will see it in New Zealand, the southern Pacific, and parts of Antarctica.
17 Feb, 2026 AD 09:56–14:27 UT Annular Solar Eclipse (umbral mag. 0.96; Saros 121)	The Sun will be 96% covered in a moderate annular eclipse, lasting 2 minutes and 20 seconds and covering a very broad path, 616 km wide at maximum. It will be visible from a small region in Antarctica. The partial eclipse will be visible over Antarctica and south-eastern Africa.
