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, 1961–1980 AD

15 Feb, 1961 AD
max: 08:19 UT
Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.04; Saros 120)
A dramatic total eclipse plunged the Sun into darkness for 2 minutes and 45 seconds at maximum, creating an amazing spectacle for observers in a very broad path, 258 km wide at maximum. 		   
2 Mar, 1961 AD
max: 13:28 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.80; Saros 132)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 3 hours and 13 minutes, with 80% of the Moon in darkness at maximum.

max: 03:08 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.99; Saros 137)
The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 6 minutes. With 99% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event.
5 Feb, 1962 AD
max: 00:12 UT

(umbral mag. 1.04; Saros 130)
A dramatic total eclipse plunged the Sun into darkness for 4 minutes and 8 seconds at maximum, creating an amazing spectacle for observers in a path up to 147 km wide.

max: 11:54 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.39; Saros 109)

Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.45; Saros 122)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 31 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 45% 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 39 minutes in total.

max: 15:02 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.79; Saros 148)
A moderate partial eclipse, with 79% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, created an interesting spectacle.

max: 19:04 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.33; Saros 127)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 19 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 27 minutes in total.

Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.69; Saros 153)

max: 16:54 UT
Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.04; Saros 120)
A dramatic total eclipse plunged the Sun into darkness for 2 minutes and 49 seconds at maximum, creating an amazing spectacle for observers in a very broad path, 298 km wide at maximum. 		   
13 Mar, 1979 AD
max: 21:08 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.85; Saros 132)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 3 hours and 18 minutes, with 85% of the Moon in darkness at maximum.
22 Aug, 1979 AD
max: 17:21 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.93; Saros 125)
A small annular eclipse covered only 93% of the Sun in a very broad path, 953 km wide at maximum, and lasted 6 minutes and 3 seconds. 		   
6 Sep, 1979 AD
max: 10:54 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.09; Saros 137)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 44 minutes and 24 seconds. The Moon was 9% 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.
16 Feb, 1980 AD
max: 08:53 UT
Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.04; Saros 130)
A dramatic total eclipse plunged the Sun into darkness for 4 minutes and 8 seconds at maximum, creating an amazing spectacle for observers in a path up to 149 km wide. 		   
1 Mar, 1980 AD
max: 20:45 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.65; Saros 142)
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 59 minutes.
27 Jul, 1980 AD
max: 19:08 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.25; Saros 109)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 18 minutes, just 25% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow). 		   
10 Aug, 1980 AD
max: 19:11 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.97; Saros 135)
A large annular eclipse covered 97% of the Sun, creating a dramatic spectacle for observers in a path up to 100 km wide; it lasted 3 minutes and 23 seconds at the point of maximum eclipse.
26 Aug, 1980 AD
max: 03:30 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.71; Saros 147)
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 34 minutes.
