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, 1560–1541 BC

Note that eclipse dates are specified relative to UT. You have not selected a timezone for eclipse timings, so all times are shown in UT (essentially GMT).
8 Apr, 1560 BC
max: 23:38 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.88; Saros 4)
This was a deep partial eclipse, with 88% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center. This provided a significant spectacle for those who saw it. 		   
24 Apr, 1560 BC
max: 00:59 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.38; Saros 16)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 29 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 38% 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 47 minutes in total.
8 May, 1560 BC
max: 06:40 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.17; Saros 42)
With only 17% of the Sun covered at maximum eclipse, this was a very marginal eclipse at best, and rather uninteresting.
2 Oct, 1560 BC
max: 23:05 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.71; Saros 9)
A moderate partial eclipse, with 71% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, created an interesting spectacle. 		   
17 Oct, 1560 BC
max: 19:34 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.24; Saros 21)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 8 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 24% 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 18 minutes in total.
29 Mar, 1559 BC
max: 16:42 UT
Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.06; Saros 14)
A dramatic total eclipse plunged the Sun into darkness for 5 minutes and 39 seconds at maximum, creating an amazing spectacle for observers in a broad path up to 224 km wide. 		   
13 Apr, 1559 BC
max: 01:34 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 1.05; Saros 26)
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 48 minutes in all, though for most of it, the eclipse was extremely difficult or impossible to see.

Hybrid Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.01; Saros 27)
A fleeting hybrid eclipse covered a narrow path at most 23 km wide and lasted for 39 seconds at the point of maximum eclipse.

Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.73; Saros 6)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 2 hours exactly, with 73% of the Moon in darkness at maximum.

max: 00:30 UT
Hybrid Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.01; Saros 32)
The Sun was darkened for 1 minute and 9 seconds by a dramatic hybrid eclipse covering a narrow path at most 50 km wide. This was a sight worth seeing.

Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.26; Saros 11)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 11 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 26% 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 23 minutes in total. 		   
24 Nov, 1543 BC
max: 01:10 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.63; Saros 37)
A moderate partial eclipse, with 63% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, created an interesting spectacle.
20 Apr, 1542 BC
max: 07:14 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.75; Saros 4)
A moderate partial eclipse, with 75% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, created an interesting spectacle. 		   
5 May, 1542 BC
max: 07:28 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.54; Saros 16)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 40 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 54% 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 52 minutes in total.
19 May, 1542 BC
max: 14:04 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.31; Saros 42)
A small partial eclipse barely darkened the Sun. With just 31% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, this was of limited interest.
14 Oct, 1542 BC
max: 07:01 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.69; Saros 9)
A moderate partial eclipse, with 69% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, created an interesting spectacle. 		   
29 Oct, 1542 BC
max: 04:31 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.25; Saros 21)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 8 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 25% 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 18 minutes in total.
9 Apr, 1541 BC
max: 00:20 UT
Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.06; Saros 14)
A dramatic total eclipse plunged the Sun into darkness for 5 minutes and 25 seconds at maximum, creating an amazing spectacle for observers in a broad path up to 229 km wide. 		   
23 Apr, 1541 BC
max: 08:05 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.14; Saros 26)
At maximum eclipse, a small bite out of the Moon should have been visible. The eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 30 minutes, with just 14% of the Moon in shadow at maximum.
2 Oct, 1541 BC
max: 08:23 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.95; Saros 19)
The Sun was 95% covered in a moderate annular eclipse, lasting 5 minutes and 10 seconds and covering a broad path up to 186 km wide. 		   
17 Oct, 1541 BC
max: 19:39 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.97; Saros 31)
The Moon approached within 2% of the Earth's umbral shadow at maximum eclipse; 97% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth, with the overall eclipse lasting 4 hours and 8 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.
