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.

8 Apr, 1921 AD
06:51–11:37 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.98; Saros 118)
A large annular eclipse covered 98% of the Sun, creating a dramatic spectacle for observers in a broad path up to 192 km wide; it lasted 1 minute and 50 seconds at the point of maximum eclipse. It was seen in a broad south-west / north-east band covering the Hebrides and north-west Scotland, and north-western Norway and the Arctic.
   
22 Apr, 1921 AD
max: 07:44 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.07; Saros 130)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 40 minutes and 6 seconds. The Moon was 7% 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.
1 Oct, 1921 AD
max: 12:35 UT
Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.03; Saros 123)
The Sun was darkened for 1 minute and 52 seconds by a dramatic total eclipse covering a very broad path, 291 km wide at maximum. This was a sight worth seeing.
   
16 Oct, 1921 AD
max: 22:53 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.93; Saros 135)
The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 19 minutes. With 93% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event.

max: 11:28 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.13; Saros 102)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 13% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 36 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
   
28 Mar, 1922 AD
max: 13:05 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.94; Saros 128)

Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.07; Saros 133)

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.85; Saros 143)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 85% 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 56 minutes.
25 May, 1937 AD
max: 07:51 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.77; Saros 110)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 77% 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 15 minutes.
   
8 Jun, 1937 AD
max: 20:40 UT
Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.08; Saros 136)
A dramatic total eclipse plunged the Sun into darkness for 7 minutes and 4 seconds at maximum, creating an amazing spectacle for observers in a very broad path, 250 km wide at maximum.
18 Nov, 1937 AD
max: 08:19 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.14; Saros 115)
At maximum eclipse, a small bite out of the Moon should have been visible. The eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 21 minutes, with just 14% of the Moon in shadow at maximum.
   
2 Dec, 1937 AD
max: 23:05 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.92; Saros 141)
A small annular eclipse covered only 92% of the Sun in a very broad path, 344 km wide at maximum, and lasted 12 minutes exactly.
14 May, 1938 AD
max: 08:43 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.10; Saros 120)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 49 minutes and 24 seconds. The Moon was 10% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 33 minutes in total.
   
29 May, 1938 AD
11:46–15:53 UT
Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.06; Saros 146)
A dramatic total eclipse plunged the Sun into darkness for 4 minutes and 5 seconds at maximum, creating an amazing spectacle for observers in a very broad path, 675 km wide at maximum. It was seen from South Georgia and the extreme south Atlantic. The partial eclipse was visible in southern South America, the south Atlantic, and southern Africa.
7 Nov, 1938 AD
max: 22:26 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.35; Saros 125)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 21 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 35% 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 30 minutes in total.
   
21 Nov, 1938 AD
max: 23:52 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.78; Saros 151)
A moderate partial eclipse, with 78% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, created an interesting spectacle.
19 Apr, 1939 AD
max: 16:45 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.97; Saros 118)
A large annular eclipse covered 97% of the Sun, creating a dramatic spectacle for observers in a very broad path, 285 km wide at maximum; it lasted 1 minute and 49 seconds at the point of maximum eclipse.
   
3 May, 1939 AD
max: 15:11 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.18; Saros 130)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 1 hour and 2 minutes. The Moon was 18% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 27 minutes in total.
12 Oct, 1939 AD
max: 20:39 UT
Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.03; Saros 123)
The Sun was darkened for 1 minute and 32 seconds by a dramatic total eclipse covering a very broad path, 418 km wide at maximum. This was a sight worth seeing.
   
28 Oct, 1939 AD
max: 06:36 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.99; Saros 135)
The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 23 minutes. With 99% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event.
23 Mar, 1940 AD
max: 19:47 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.08; Saros 102)
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 15 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
   
7 Apr, 1940 AD
max: 20:20 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.94; Saros 128)
A small annular eclipse covered only 94% of the Sun in a broad path up to 230 km wide, and lasted 7 minutes and 30 seconds.
22 Apr, 1940 AD
max: 04:26 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.87; Saros 140)
At maximum eclipse, 87% 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 53 minutes overall.
1 Oct, 1940 AD
max: 12:43 UT
Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.06; Saros 133)
A dramatic total eclipse plunged the Sun into darkness for 5 minutes and 35 seconds at maximum, creating an amazing spectacle for observers in a broad path up to 218 km wide.
   
16 Oct, 1940 AD
max: 08:00 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.72; Saros 145)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 72% 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.
