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.

(umbral mag. 0.81; Saros 25)
This was a deep partial eclipse, with 81% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center. This provided a significant spectacle for those who saw it.

Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.69; Saros -8)
A moderate partial eclipse, with 69% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, created an interesting spectacle.

Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.42; Saros 4)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 32 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 42% 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 50 minutes in total.
16 Dec, 1944 BC
max: 08:47 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.05; Saros 30)
With only 5% of the Sun covered at maximum eclipse, this was a very marginal eclipse at best, and rather uninteresting.
12 May, 1943 BC
max: 20:28 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.95; Saros -3)
The Sun was 95% covered in a moderate annular eclipse, lasting 4 minutes and 34 seconds and covering a very broad path, 978 km wide at maximum.
   
27 May, 1943 BC
max: 21:34 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.13; Saros 9)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 51 minutes and 6 seconds. The Moon was 13% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 14 minutes in total.
6 Nov, 1943 BC
max: 12:59 UT
Hybrid Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.01; Saros 2)
The Sun was darkened for 1 minute and 17 seconds by a dramatic hybrid eclipse covering a narrow path at most 57 km wide. This was a sight worth seeing.
   
20 Nov, 1943 BC
max: 17:52 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.20; Saros 14)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 20% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 46 minutes.
18 Apr, 1942 BC
max: 03:54 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.26; Saros -19)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 23 minutes, just 26% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
   
2 May, 1942 BC
max: 01:26 UT
Hybrid Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.00; Saros 7)
A fleeting hybrid eclipse covered only a tiny path, just 7 km wide and lasted for a brief 12 seconds at the point of maximum eclipse.
17 May, 1942 BC
max: 13:13 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.65; Saros 19)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 65% 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 32 minutes.
11 Oct, 1942 BC
max: 09:46 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.49; Saros -14)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 6 minutes, just 49% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
   
26 Oct, 1942 BC
max: 22:50 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.96; Saros 12)
The Sun was 96% covered in a moderate annular eclipse, lasting 3 minutes and 49 seconds and covering a path up to 138 km wide.
9 Nov, 1942 BC
max: 22:59 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.12; Saros 24)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 12% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 38 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
6 Apr, 1941 BC
max: 09:57 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.54; Saros -9)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 54% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 46 minutes.
   
20 Apr, 1941 BC
max: 13:34 UT
Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.05; Saros 17)
A dramatic total eclipse plunged the Sun into darkness for 3 minutes and 56 seconds at maximum, creating an amazing spectacle for observers in a broad path up to 213 km wide.
30 Sep, 1941 BC
max: 00:24 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.79; Saros -4)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 2 hours and 52 minutes, with 79% of the Moon in darkness at maximum.
   
15 Oct, 1941 BC
max: 01:26 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.92; Saros 22)
A small annular eclipse covered only 92% of the Sun in a very broad path, 662 km wide at maximum, and lasted 7 minutes and 17 seconds.
