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, 1660–1641 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).
19 Feb, 1660 BC
max: 22:27 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.11; Saros -13)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 11% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 34 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
   
5 Mar, 1660 BC
max: 20:49 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.99; Saros 13)
A large annular eclipse covered over 99% of the Sun, creating a dramatic spectacle for observers in a narrow path at most 21 km wide; it lasted 34 seconds at the point of maximum eclipse.
21 Mar, 1660 BC
max: 09:21 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.68; Saros 25)

30 Aug, 1660 BC
max: 11:51 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse

(umbral mag. 1.33; Saros 10)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 25 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 33% 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.

Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.80; Saros 36)
A moderate partial eclipse, with 80% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, created an interesting spectacle.
27 Mar, 1643 BC
max: 22:46 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.84; Saros 3)
This was a deep partial eclipse, with 84% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center. This provided a significant spectacle for those who saw it.

Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.25; Saros 15)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 9 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 20 minutes in total.

max: 10:34 UT
Hybrid Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.01; Saros 8)
A fleeting hybrid eclipse covered a narrow path at most 50 km wide and lasted for just 22 seconds at the point of maximum eclipse.
   
5 Oct, 1643 BC
max: 13:11 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.04; Saros 20)
The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for 30 minutes and 6 seconds. With the Moon just 4% 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 28 minutes in total.
3 Mar, 1642 BC
max: 06:04 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.01; Saros -13)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 1% of the Moon's disc for 29 minutes and 48 seconds, which was essentially impossible to see.
   
17 Mar, 1642 BC
max: 04:13 UT
Hybrid Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.00; Saros 13)
A fleeting hybrid eclipse covered only an extremely narrow strip and lasted for a very brief 1 second at the point of maximum eclipse.
1 Apr, 1642 BC
max: 16:50 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.79; Saros 25)
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 52 minutes.
10 Sep, 1642 BC
max: 19:42 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.96; Saros 18)
The Sun was 96% covered in a moderate annular eclipse, lasting 3 minutes and 43 seconds and covering a path up to 136 km wide.
   
24 Sep, 1642 BC
max: 19:53 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.85; Saros 30)
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 3 minutes.
20 Feb, 1641 BC
max: 10:40 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.21; Saros -3)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 21% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 48 minutes.
   
5 Mar, 1641 BC
max: 16:41 UT
Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.05; Saros 23)
A dramatic total eclipse plunged the Sun into darkness for 4 minutes and 13 seconds at maximum, creating an amazing spectacle for observers in a broad path up to 182 km wide.
15 Aug, 1641 BC
max: 00:12 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.27; Saros 2)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 27% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 48 minutes.
   
29 Aug, 1641 BC
max: 21:49 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.93; Saros 28)
A small annular eclipse covered only 93% of the Sun in a very broad path, 299 km wide at maximum, and lasted 8 minutes and 34 seconds.
