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, 1721–1740 AD

13 Jan, 1721 AD
max: 15:08 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.61; Saros 110)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 2 hours and 53 minutes, with 61% of the Moon in darkness at maximum.

Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.02; Saros 136)
The Sun was darkened for 1 minute and 7 seconds by a dramatic total eclipse covering a narrow path at most 79 km wide. This was a sight worth seeing.
9 Jul, 1721 AD
max: 08:39 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.22; Saros 115)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 5 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 18 minutes in total.
   
24 Jul, 1721 AD
max: 09:06 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.90; Saros 141)

Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.48; Saros 111)
A small partial eclipse barely darkened the Sun. With just 48% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, this was of limited interest.

Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.81; Saros 123)
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 56 minutes in total.

18 Feb, 1738 AD
max: 18:02 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.97; Saros 126)

6 Mar, 1738 AD
max: 07:07 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.20; Saros 138)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 20% of the Moon's disc for 2 hours and 2 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
31 Jul, 1738 AD
max: 00:13 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.64; Saros 105)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 64% 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 28 minutes.
   
15 Aug, 1738 AD
max: 11:40 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.99; Saros 131)

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.24; Saros 143)

max: 16:09 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.08; Saros 115)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 42 minutes and 18 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.

A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 45 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.

max: 02:18 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.77; Saros 113)
A moderate partial eclipse, with 77% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, created an interesting spectacle.
   
9 Jul, 1740 AD
max: 09:13 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.33; Saros 125)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 18 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 33% 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 25 minutes in total.
18 Dec, 1740 AD
