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, 1900–1881 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).
18 Jan, 1900 BC
max: 23:49 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.47; Saros -9)
A small partial eclipse barely darkened the Sun. With just 47% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, this was of limited interest.
   
3 Feb, 1900 BC
max: 12:32 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.51; Saros 3)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 32 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 51% 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 34 minutes in total.
15 Jul, 1900 BC
max: 15:34 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.55; Saros -4)
A moderate partial eclipse, with 55% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, created an interesting spectacle.
   
29 Jul, 1900 BC
max: 13:55 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.73; Saros 8)
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 42 minutes in total.
14 Aug, 1900 BC
max: 03:18 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.11; Saros 34)
With only 11% of the Sun covered at maximum eclipse, this was a very marginal eclipse at best, and rather uninteresting.
8 Jan, 1899 BC
max: 10:27 UT
Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.02; Saros 1)
The Sun was darkened for 1 minute and 53 seconds by a dramatic total eclipse covering a path up to 99 km wide. This was a sight worth seeing.
   
23 Jan, 1899 BC
max: 21:47 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.08; Saros 13)
A tiny bite out of the Moon may have been visible at maximum, though just 8% of the Moon was shadowed in a partial eclipse which lasted for 1 hour and 7 minutes. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse.
4 Jul, 1899 BC
max: 19:31 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.95; Saros 6)

max: 03:13 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.43; Saros 18)

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.21; Saros -12)

Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.05; Saros 14)
A dramatic total eclipse plunged the Sun into darkness for 4 minutes and 20 seconds at maximum, creating an amazing spectacle for observers in a broad path up to 172 km wide.
30 Sep, 1884 BC
max: 08:54 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.10; Saros 26)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 10% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 39 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
25 Feb, 1883 BC
max: 05:37 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.85; Saros -7)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 2 hours and 57 minutes, with 85% of the Moon in darkness at maximum.
   
11 Mar, 1883 BC
max: 20:04 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.93; Saros 19)
A small annular eclipse covered only 93% of the Sun in a very broad path, 402 km wide at maximum, and lasted 6 minutes and 41 seconds.
20 Aug, 1883 BC
max: 15:10 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.46; Saros -2)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 46% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 33 minutes.

Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.04; Saros 24)

30 Jan, 1882 BC
max: 07:45 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.43; Saros -9)
A small partial eclipse barely darkened the Sun. With just 43% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, this was of limited interest.
   
14 Feb, 1882 BC
max: 20:36 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.58; Saros 3)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 35 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 58% 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 36 minutes in total.
28 Feb, 1882 BC
max: 21:34 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.08; Saros 29)
With only 8% of the Sun covered at maximum eclipse, this was a very marginal eclipse at best, and rather uninteresting.
26 Jul, 1882 BC
max: 22:52 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.44; Saros -4)
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.
   
9 Aug, 1882 BC
max: 21:38 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.82; Saros 8)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 42 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 42 minutes in total.
25 Aug, 1882 BC
max: 11:13 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.17; Saros 34)
With only 17% of the Sun covered at maximum eclipse, this was a very marginal eclipse at best, and rather uninteresting.
19 Jan, 1881 BC
max: 18:55 UT

4 Feb, 1881 BC
max: 05:34 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.14; Saros 13)
