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.

26 Apr, 1700 BC
max: 18:40 UT
Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.07; Saros 11)
A dramatic total eclipse plunged the Sun into darkness for 5 minutes and 50 seconds at maximum, creating an amazing spectacle for observers in a very broad path, 242 km wide at maximum. 		   
11 May, 1700 BC
max: 03:39 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 1.04; Saros 23)
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 47 minutes in all, though for most of it, the eclipse was extremely difficult or impossible to see.
6 Oct, 1700 BC
max: 04:32 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.06; Saros -10)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 6% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 11 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see. 		   
20 Oct, 1700 BC
max: 06:12 UT

max: 16:35 UT

31 Mar, 1699 BC
max: 20:18 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.07; Saros -5)

Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.72; Saros 3)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 2 hours and 59 minutes, with 72% of the Moon in darkness at maximum. 		   
27 Jun, 1684 BC
max: 02:27 UT
Hybrid Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.01; Saros 29)
A fleeting hybrid eclipse covered a narrow path at most 26 km wide and lasted for just 25 seconds at the point of maximum eclipse.
6 Dec, 1684 BC
max: 19:26 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.63; Saros 8)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 36 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 34 minutes in total. 		   
22 Dec, 1684 BC
max: 07:28 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.28; Saros 34)
A small partial eclipse barely darkened the Sun. With just 28% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, this was of limited interest.
18 May, 1683 BC
max: 08:53 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.75; Saros 1)
A moderate partial eclipse, with 75% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, created an interesting spectacle. 		   
2 Jun, 1683 BC
max: 09:25 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.55; Saros 13)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 40 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 55% 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.
16 Jun, 1683 BC
max: 15:45 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.32; Saros 39)
A small partial eclipse barely darkened the Sun. With just 32% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, this was of limited interest.
11 Nov, 1683 BC
max: 13:41 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.91; Saros 6)
A small annular eclipse covered only 91% of the Sun in a very broad path, 936 km wide at maximum, and lasted 9 minutes and 8 seconds. 		   
26 Nov, 1683 BC
max: 10:19 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.87; Saros 18)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 2 hours and 58 minutes, with 87% of the Moon in darkness at maximum.
8 May, 1682 BC
max: 02:08 UT
Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.07; Saros 11)
A dramatic total eclipse plunged the Sun into darkness for 5 minutes and 49 seconds at maximum, creating an amazing spectacle for observers in a very broad path, 243 km wide at maximum. 		   
22 May, 1682 BC
max: 10:04 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.14; Saros 23)
At maximum eclipse, a small bite out of the Moon should have been visible. The eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 31 minutes, with just 14% of the Moon in shadow at maximum.
17 Oct, 1682 BC
max: 13:08 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.05; Saros -10)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 5% of the Moon's disc for 59 minutes and 54 seconds, which was essentially impossible to see. 		   
31 Oct, 1682 BC
max: 14:33 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.95; Saros 16)
The Sun was 95% covered in a moderate annular eclipse, lasting 5 minutes and 47 seconds and covering a broad path up to 197 km wide.
16 Nov, 1682 BC
max: 01:30 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.62; Saros 28)
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 24 minutes.
11 Apr, 1681 BC
max: 03:32 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.95; Saros -5)
The Moon approached within 5% of the Earth's umbral shadow at maximum eclipse; 95% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth, with the overall eclipse lasting 4 hours and 14 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. 		   
26 Apr, 1681 BC
max: 16:10 UT
Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.02; Saros 21)
The Sun was darkened for 1 minute and 39 seconds by a dramatic total eclipse covering a narrow path at most 68 km wide. This was a sight worth seeing.
5 Oct, 1681 BC
max: 20:32 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.15; Saros 0)
At maximum eclipse, a small bite out of the Moon should have been visible. The eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 32 minutes, with just 15% of the Moon in shadow at maximum. 		   
19 Oct, 1681 BC
max: 22:28 UT
Hybrid Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.00; Saros 26)
A fleeting hybrid eclipse covered only a tiny path, just 9 km wide and lasted for a brief 12 seconds at the point of maximum eclipse.
