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.

Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.71; Saros -10)
A moderate partial eclipse, with 71% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, created an interesting spectacle.

Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.42; Saros 2)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 26 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 31 minutes in total.

max: 04:47 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.89; Saros -5)
This was a deep partial eclipse, with 89% 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. 1.32; Saros 7)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 24 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 32% 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 45 minutes in total.

max: 12:53 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.07; Saros 33)
With only 7% of the Sun covered at maximum eclipse, this was a very marginal eclipse at best, and rather uninteresting.

max: 18:51 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.92; Saros 0)
A small annular eclipse covered only 92% of the Sun in a very broad path, 346 km wide at maximum, and lasted 11 minutes and 38 seconds.
   
11 Jan, 1982 BC
max: 12:07 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.19; Saros 12)
At maximum eclipse, a small bite out of the Moon should have been visible. The eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 34 minutes, with just 19% of the Moon in shadow at maximum.
22 Jun, 1982 BC
max: 21:55 UT
Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.07; Saros 5)
A dramatic total eclipse plunged the Sun into darkness for 6 minutes and 28 seconds at maximum, creating an amazing spectacle for observers in a very broad path, 240 km wide at maximum.
   
7 Jul, 1982 BC
max: 07:59 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 1.02; Saros 17)
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 45 minutes in all, though for most of it, the eclipse was extremely difficult or impossible to see.
2 Dec, 1982 BC
max: 16:19 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.81; Saros -16)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 81% 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 54 minutes.
   
16 Dec, 1982 BC
max: 19:05 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.94; Saros 10)
The Sun was 94% covered in a moderate annular eclipse, lasting 6 minutes and 21 seconds and covering a broad path up to 220 km wide.
26 May, 1981 BC
max: 23:55 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.07; Saros -11)
A tiny bite out of the Moon may have been visible at maximum, though just 7% of the Moon was shadowed in a partial eclipse which lasted for 1 hour and 1 minute. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse.
   
11 Jun, 1981 BC
max: 12:27 UT
Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.02; Saros 15)
A dramatic total eclipse plunged the Sun into darkness for 2 minutes exactly at maximum, creating an amazing spectacle for observers in a path up to 91 km wide.
21 Nov, 1981 BC
max: 00:51 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.97; Saros -6)
The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 21 minutes. With 97% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event.
   
5 Dec, 1981 BC
max: 01:46 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.98; Saros 20)
A large annular eclipse covered 98% of the Sun, creating a dramatic spectacle for observers in a path up to 127 km wide; it lasted 58 seconds at the point of maximum eclipse.
