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, 1540–1521 BC

14 Mar, 1540 BC
max: 01:06 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.89; Saros -2)
At maximum eclipse, 89% 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 7 minutes overall. 		   
29 Mar, 1540 BC
max: 14:03 UT

Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.06; Saros 14)
A dramatic total eclipse plunged the Sun into darkness for 5 minutes and 5 seconds at maximum, creating an amazing spectacle for observers in a broad path up to 234 km wide. 		   
4 May, 1523 BC
max: 14:34 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.30; Saros 26)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 30% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 8 minutes.
13 Oct, 1523 BC
max: 16:37 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.95; Saros 19)
The Sun was 95% covered in a moderate annular eclipse, lasting 4 minutes and 55 seconds and covering a broad path up to 185 km wide. 		   
29 Oct, 1523 BC
max: 04:27 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.98; Saros 31)
The Moon approached within 2% of the Earth's umbral shadow at maximum eclipse; 98% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth, with the overall eclipse lasting 4 hours and 9 minutes. While less dramatic than a partial eclipse (as no part of the Moon was in complete shadow), a shading across the Moon should have been readily visible to observers.
25 Mar, 1522 BC
max: 08:34 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.79; Saros -2)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 79% 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 54 minutes. 		   
9 Apr, 1522 BC
max: 21:19 UT
Hybrid Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.01; Saros 24)
The Sun was darkened for 1 minute and 9 seconds by a dramatic hybrid eclipse covering a narrow path at most 40 km wide. This was a sight worth seeing.
23 Apr, 1522 BC
max: 19:05 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.03; Saros 36)
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 50 minutes and 24 seconds, which was essentially impossible to see.
18 Sep, 1522 BC
max: 22:54 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.85; Saros 3)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 85% 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 19 minutes. 		   
3 Oct, 1522 BC
max: 01:29 UT
Hybrid Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.01; Saros 29)
The Sun was darkened for 1 minute and 16 seconds by a dramatic hybrid eclipse covering a narrow path at most 47 km wide. This was a sight worth seeing.
13 Mar, 1521 BC
max: 22:49 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.23; Saros 8)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 7 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 23% 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 20 minutes in total. 		   
29 Mar, 1521 BC
max: 03:40 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.83; Saros 34)
This was a deep partial eclipse, with 83% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center. This provided a significant spectacle for those who saw it.
6 Sep, 1521 BC
max: 23:24 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.02; Saros 13)
The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for 22 minutes and 24 seconds. With the Moon just 2% of its diameter into 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 32 minutes in total. 		   
21 Sep, 1521 BC
max: 16:07 UT
Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.04; Saros 39)
A dramatic total eclipse plunged the Sun into darkness for 2 minutes and 24 seconds at maximum, creating an amazing spectacle for observers in a very broad path, 403 km wide at maximum.
