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, 0520–0501 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).
15 May, 0520 BC
max: 04:43 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.00; Saros 32)
While technically a partial eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the Earth's umbral shadow, which may have been very difficult to observe in practice; though a shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse. The partial eclipse lasted for 4 minutes and 18 seconds.
   
30 May, 0520 BC
max: 10:10 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.97; Saros 58)
The Sun was 97% covered in a moderate annular eclipse, lasting 4 minutes and 19 seconds and covering a path up to 125 km wide.
13 Jun, 0520 BC
max: 12:08 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.08; Saros 70)
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 19 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
8 Nov, 0520 BC
max: 12:51 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.20; Saros 37)
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 48 minutes.

4 May, 0519 BC
max: 21:56 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.36; Saros 42)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 20 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 36% 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 24 minutes in total.
   
19 May, 0519 BC
max: 11:25 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.81; Saros 68)

A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 38 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 31 minutes in total.

Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.16; Saros 71)
With only 16% of the Sun covered at maximum eclipse, this was a very marginal eclipse at best, and rather uninteresting.

Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.51; Saros 38)
A moderate partial eclipse, with 51% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, created an interesting spectacle.

Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.77; Saros 50)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 46 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 55 minutes in total.

Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.94; Saros 43)

Hybrid Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.01; Saros 48)
The Sun was darkened for 56 seconds by a dramatic hybrid eclipse covering a narrow path at most 48 km wide. This was a sight worth seeing.
   
5 Jul, 0503 BC
max: 07:54 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.52; Saros 60)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 52% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 37 minutes.
30 Nov, 0503 BC
max: 20:36 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.12; Saros 27)
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 42 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.

max: 22:57 UT
Hybrid Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.01; Saros 53)
A fleeting hybrid eclipse covered a narrow path at most 19 km wide and lasted for 32 seconds at the point of maximum eclipse.

max: 12:40 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.30; Saros 65)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 37 minutes, just 30% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
26 May, 0502 BC
max: 12:09 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.82; Saros 32)
At maximum eclipse, 82% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth, which caused a slight shadow gradient across its disc; this subtle effect may have been visible to careful observers. No part of the Moon was in complete shadow. The eclipse lasted 3 hours and 45 minutes overall.

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.22; Saros 70)

max: 20:56 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.19; Saros 37)
At maximum eclipse, a small bite out of the Moon should have been visible. The eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 46 minutes, with just 19% of the Moon in shadow at maximum.

Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.04; Saros 63)

Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.22; Saros 42)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 6 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 22% 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 19 minutes in total.
   
29 May, 0501 BC
max: 17:46 UT
