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, 0500–0481 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 Apr, 0500 BC
max: 08:31 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.96; Saros 40)
This was a deep partial eclipse, with 96% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center. This provided a significant spectacle for those who saw it.
   
4 May, 0500 BC
max: 20:44 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.14; Saros 52)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 55 minutes and 12 seconds. The Moon was 14% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 22 minutes in total.
14 Oct, 0500 BC
max: 02:25 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.95; Saros 45)
The Sun was 95% covered in a moderate annular eclipse, lasting 3 minutes and 40 seconds and covering a very broad path, 333 km wide at maximum.
   
28 Oct, 0500 BC
max: 02:36 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.91; Saros 57)
The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 11 minutes. With 91% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event.
8 Apr, 0499 BC
max: 20:54 UT
Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.05; Saros 50)
A dramatic total eclipse plunged the Sun into darkness for 4 minutes and 54 seconds at maximum, creating an amazing spectacle for observers in a broad path up to 183 km wide.
   
24 Apr, 0499 BC
max: 05:55 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.65; Saros 62)
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 48 minutes.
18 Sep, 0499 BC
max: 05:31 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.12; Saros 29)

max: 15:25 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.73; Saros 67)

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.69; Saros 32)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 69% 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 29 minutes.

Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.96; Saros 58)
The Sun was 96% covered in a moderate annular eclipse, lasting 4 minutes and 58 seconds and covering a path up to 140 km wide.

max: 02:56 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.35; Saros 70)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 38 minutes, just 35% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
30 Nov, 0484 BC
max: 05:02 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.18; Saros 37)
At maximum eclipse, a small bite out of the Moon should have been visible. The eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 43 minutes, with just 18% of the Moon in shadow at maximum.
   
14 Dec, 0484 BC
max: 21:56 UT
Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.04; Saros 63)
A dramatic total eclipse plunged the Sun into darkness for 4 minutes and 3 seconds at maximum, creating an amazing spectacle for observers in a broad path up to 170 km wide.
26 May, 0483 BC
max: 12:54 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.08; Saros 42)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 42 minutes and 24 seconds. The Moon was 8% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 12 minutes in total.
   
10 Jun, 0483 BC
max: 00:11 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.94; Saros 68)
The Sun was 94% covered in a moderate annular eclipse, lasting 6 minutes and 26 seconds and covering a very broad path, 524 km wide at maximum.
5 Nov, 0483 BC
max: 01:43 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.08; Saros 35)
With only 8% of the Sun covered at maximum eclipse, this was a very marginal eclipse at best, and rather uninteresting.
   
19 Nov, 0483 BC
max: 04:56 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.46; Saros 47)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 33 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 46% 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 46 minutes in total.
4 Dec, 0483 BC
max: 13:31 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.56; Saros 73)
A moderate partial eclipse, with 56% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, created an interesting spectacle.
30 Apr, 0482 BC
max: 15:37 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.84; Saros 40)
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.
   
16 May, 0482 BC
max: 03:58 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.27; Saros 52)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 15 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 27% 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 29 minutes in total.
25 Oct, 0482 BC
max: 10:39 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.95; Saros 45)
The Sun was 95% covered in a moderate annular eclipse, lasting 3 minutes and 54 seconds and covering a very broad path, 391 km wide at maximum.
   
8 Nov, 0482 BC
max: 11:13 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.93; Saros 57)
The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 11 minutes. With 93% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event.
19 Apr, 0481 BC
max: 04:28 UT
Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.06; Saros 50)
A dramatic total eclipse plunged the Sun into darkness for 5 minutes and 7 seconds at maximum, creating an amazing spectacle for observers in a broad path up to 201 km wide.

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.79; Saros 62)
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 4 hours and 8 minutes.
28 Sep, 0481 BC
max: 14:04 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.08; Saros 29)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 8% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 17 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
   
13 Oct, 0481 BC
max: 12:28 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.92; Saros 55)
A small annular eclipse covered only 92% of the Sun in a very broad path, 295 km wide at maximum, and lasted 9 minutes and 49 seconds.
28 Oct, 0481 BC
max: 00:13 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.74; Saros 67)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 74% 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 38 minutes.
