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, 1300–1281 BC

14 Apr, 1300 BC
max: 21:07 UT

(penum. mag. 1.02; Saros 38)
In a rare total penumbral eclipse, the entire Moon was partially shaded by the Earth (though none of it was in complete shadow), and the shading across the Moon should have been quite visible at maximum eclipse. The penumbral phase lasted for 4 hours and 44 minutes in all, though for most of it, the eclipse was extremely difficult or impossible to see.

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.62; Saros 5)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 62% 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 22 minutes.

Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.92; Saros 31)
A small annular eclipse covered only 92% of the Sun in a very broad path, 303 km wide at maximum, and lasted 11 minutes and 11 seconds.
24 Dec, 1284 BC
max: 14:24 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.16; Saros 43)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 16% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 46 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.

max: 18:05 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.98; Saros 10)
At maximum eclipse, 98% 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 31 minutes overall.

max: 02:36 UT
Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.06; Saros 36)
A dramatic total eclipse plunged the Sun into darkness for 5 minutes and 54 seconds at maximum, creating an amazing spectacle for observers in a broad path up to 212 km wide.
14 Nov, 1283 BC
max: 16:14 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.78; Saros 15)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 3 hours exactly, with 78% of the Moon in darkness at maximum.
   
28 Nov, 1283 BC
max: 16:40 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.95; Saros 41)
The Sun was 95% covered in a moderate annular eclipse, lasting 5 minutes and 22 seconds and covering a very broad path, 299 km wide at maximum.
26 Apr, 1282 BC
max: 03:57 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.05; Saros 8)
With only 5% of the Sun covered at maximum eclipse, this was a very marginal eclipse at best, and rather uninteresting.

max: 03:10 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.47; Saros 20)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 31 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 47% 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 35 minutes in total.
25 May, 1282 BC
max: 15:20 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.65; Saros 46)
A moderate partial eclipse, with 65% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, created an interesting spectacle.
19 Oct, 1282 BC
max: 14:20 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.44; Saros 13)
A small partial eclipse barely darkened the Sun. With just 44% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, this was of limited interest.
   
3 Nov, 1282 BC
max: 22:00 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.61; Saros 25)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 41 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 50 minutes in total.
18 Nov, 1282 BC
max: 01:57 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.21; Saros 51)
A small partial eclipse barely darkened the Sun. With just 21% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, this was of limited interest.
14 Apr, 1281 BC
max: 06:22 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.94; Saros 18)
The Sun was 94% covered in a moderate annular eclipse, lasting 5 minutes and 22 seconds and covering a very broad path, 365 km wide at maximum.
   
28 Apr, 1281 BC
max: 18:23 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.90; Saros 30)
The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 1 minute. With 90% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event.
8 Oct, 1281 BC
max: 06:06 UT
Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.04; Saros 23)
A dramatic total eclipse plunged the Sun into darkness for 3 minutes and 26 seconds at maximum, creating an amazing spectacle for observers in a broad path up to 187 km wide.
   
22 Oct, 1281 BC
max: 21:43 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.34; Saros 35)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 34% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 17 minutes.
