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. 0.02; Saros 145)
With only 2% of the Sun covered at maximum eclipse, this was a very marginal eclipse at best, and rather uninteresting.
11 Jun, 1657 AD
max: 22:51 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.99; Saros 112)
A large annular eclipse covered 99% of the Sun, creating a dramatic spectacle for observers in a narrow path at most 73 km wide; it lasted 45 seconds at the point of maximum eclipse.
   
25 Jun, 1657 AD
max: 20:33 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.05; Saros 124)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 35 minutes and 54 seconds. The Moon was 5% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 21 minutes in total.
5 Dec, 1657 AD
max: 07:38 UT
Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.02; Saros 117)
The Sun was darkened for 1 minute and 29 seconds by a dramatic total eclipse covering a path up to 91 km wide. This was a sight worth seeing.
   
20 Dec, 1657 AD
max: 18:57 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.24; Saros 129)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 24% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 52 minutes.
17 May, 1658 AD
max: 03:01 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.35; Saros 96)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 33 minutes, just 35% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
   
1 Jun, 1658 AD
max: 03:11 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.95; Saros 122)
The Sun was 95% covered in a moderate annular eclipse, lasting 5 minutes and 49 seconds and covering a broad path up to 172 km wide.
15 Jun, 1658 AD
max: 10:07 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.71; Saros 134)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 71% 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 33 minutes.
10 Nov, 1658 AD
max: 01:08 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.23; Saros 101)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 26 minutes, just 23% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
   
24 Nov, 1658 AD
max: 22:54 UT
Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.05; Saros 127)
A dramatic total eclipse plunged the Sun into darkness for 4 minutes and 40 seconds at maximum, creating an amazing spectacle for observers in a broad path up to 167 km wide.
9 Dec, 1658 AD
max: 20:10 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.01; Saros 139)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 1% of the Moon's disc for 37 minutes and 12 seconds, which was essentially impossible to see.
6 May, 1659 AD
max: 19:55 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.69; Saros 106)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 2 hours and 45 minutes, with 69% of the Moon in darkness at maximum.
   
21 May, 1659 AD
max: 03:38 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.95; Saros 132)
The Sun was 95% covered in a moderate annular eclipse, lasting 6 minutes and 51 seconds and covering a very broad path, 264 km wide at maximum.
30 Oct, 1659 AD
max: 02:52 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.49; Saros 111)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 49% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 35 minutes.
   
14 Nov, 1659 AD
max: 14:09 UT
Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.02; Saros 137)
The Sun was darkened for 1 minute and 56 seconds by a dramatic total eclipse covering a path up to 106 km wide. This was a sight worth seeing.
9 Apr, 1660 AD
max: 20:09 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.39; Saros 104)
A small partial eclipse barely darkened the Sun. With just 39% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, this was of limited interest.
   
25 Apr, 1660 AD
max: 09:21 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.69; Saros 116)
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 41 minutes in total.
9 May, 1660 AD
max: 07:36 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.29; Saros 142)
A small partial eclipse barely darkened the Sun. With just 29% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, this was of limited interest.
4 Oct, 1660 AD
max: 10:03 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.34; Saros 109)
A small partial eclipse barely darkened the Sun. With just 34% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, this was of limited interest.
   
18 Oct, 1660 AD
max: 11:49 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.83; Saros 121)
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 38 minutes in total.
3 Nov, 1660 AD
max: 00:50 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.09; Saros 147)
With only 9% of the Sun covered at maximum eclipse, this was a very marginal eclipse at best, and rather uninteresting.
