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.

22 Feb, 1260 BC
max: 02:07 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.58; Saros 10)
A moderate partial eclipse, with 58% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, created an interesting spectacle.

13 Nov, 1245 BC
max: 13:53 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.36; Saros 35)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 36% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 21 minutes.
10 Apr, 1244 BC
max: 18:56 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.25; Saros 2)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 15 minutes, just 25% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow). 		   
24 Apr, 1244 BC
max: 20:38 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.97; Saros 28)

10 May, 1244 BC
max: 02:36 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.76; Saros 40)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 76% 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 40 minutes.
3 Oct, 1244 BC
max: 23:24 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.19; Saros 7)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 19% of the Moon's disc for 2 hours and 5 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see. 		   
19 Oct, 1244 BC
max: 13:26 UT
Hybrid Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.00; Saros 33)
A fleeting hybrid eclipse covered only a tiny path, just 2 km wide and lasted for a very brief 4 seconds at the point of maximum eclipse.
2 Nov, 1244 BC
max: 14:47 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.27; Saros 45)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 34 minutes, just 27% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
31 Mar, 1243 BC
max: 05:42 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.53; Saros 12)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 53% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 40 minutes. 		   
14 Apr, 1243 BC
max: 03:56 UT
Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.02; Saros 38)
The Sun was darkened for 1 minute and 29 seconds by a dramatic total eclipse covering a narrow path at most 64 km wide. This was a sight worth seeing.
23 Sep, 1243 BC
max: 11:08 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.56; Saros 17)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 56% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 33 minutes. 		   
8 Oct, 1243 BC
max: 20:49 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.94; Saros 43)
The Sun was 94% covered in a moderate annular eclipse, lasting 5 minutes and 33 seconds and covering a very broad path, 324 km wide at maximum.
5 Mar, 1242 BC
max: 10:13 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.50; Saros 10)
A moderate partial eclipse, with 50% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, created an interesting spectacle. 		   
20 Mar, 1242 BC
max: 09:10 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.76; Saros 22)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 46 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 55 minutes in total.
3 Apr, 1242 BC
max: 17:55 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.48; Saros 48)
A small partial eclipse barely darkened the Sun. With just 48% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, this was of limited interest.
29 Aug, 1242 BC
max: 03:36 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.08; Saros 15)
With only 8% of the Sun covered at maximum eclipse, this was a very marginal eclipse at best, and rather uninteresting. 		   
13 Sep, 1242 BC
max: 02:58 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.84; Saros 27)
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 31 minutes in total.
27 Sep, 1242 BC
max: 21:33 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.15; Saros 53)
