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, 1981–2000 AD

20 Jan, 1981 AD
max: 07:49 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse

In a rare total penumbral eclipse, the entire Moon was partially shaded by the Earth (though none of it was in complete shadow), and the shading across the Moon should have been quite visible at maximum eclipse. The penumbral phase lasted for 4 hours and 24 minutes in all, though for most of it, the eclipse was extremely difficult or impossible to see. 		   
4 Feb, 1981 AD
max: 22:08 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.99; Saros 140)

max: 04:46 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.55; Saros 119)

max: 19:55 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.33; Saros 124)
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 24 minutes in total. 		   
25 Jan, 1982 AD

Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.19; Saros 137)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 1 hour and 2 minutes. The Moon was 19% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 16 minutes in total.

14:50–20:06 UT
Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.04; Saros 130)
A dramatic total eclipse plunged the Sun into darkness for 4 minutes and 9 seconds at maximum, creating an amazing spectacle for observers in a path up to 151 km wide. It was seen from the Galápagos Islands, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Aruba, Curacao, Montserrat, Antigua and Barbuda, and Guadeloupe. The partial eclipse was visible in the southern USA, Central America, and northern South America.

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.71; Saros 142)
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 4 hours and 6 minutes.
8 Aug, 1998 AD
max: 02:24 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.12; Saros 109)
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 36 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see. 		   
22 Aug, 1998 AD
max: 02:06 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 99 km wide; it lasted 3 minutes and 14 seconds at the point of maximum eclipse.
6 Sep, 1998 AD
max: 11:10 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.81; Saros 147)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 81% 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 48 minutes.
31 Jan, 1999 AD
14:06–18:28 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 1.00; Saros 114)
In a rare total penumbral eclipse, the entire Moon was partially shaded by the Earth (though none of it was in complete shadow), and the shading across the Moon should have been quite visible at maximum eclipse. The penumbral phase lasted for 4 hours and 22 minutes in all, though for most of it, the eclipse was extremely difficult or impossible to see. 		   
16 Feb, 1999 AD
03:52–09:15 UT
Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.99; Saros 140)
A large annular eclipse covered over 99% of the Sun, creating a dramatic spectacle for observers in a narrow path at most 29 km wide; it lasted 40 seconds at the point of maximum eclipse. It was seen from south of South Africa, across the Indian Ocean and across Australia. The partial eclipse was visible from South America, Indonesia, and most of Australia.
28 Jul, 1999 AD
08:58–14:09 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.40; Saros 119)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 40% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 23 minutes.

eclipse data page
A dramatic total eclipse plunged the Sun into darkness for 2 minutes and 23 seconds at maximum, creating an amazing spectacle for observers in a path up to 112 km wide. It was seen from the South-West corner of England, much of mainland Europe, the Middle East and South Asia. The partial eclipse was visible in the north-eastern U.S., Europe, the Middle East, western Asia, and northern Africa.

02:04–07:22 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.32; Saros 124)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 17 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 32% 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 for observers over Europe, western Africa, and North and South America. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 23 minutes in total. 		   
5 Feb, 2000 AD
10:55–14:43 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.58; Saros 150)
A moderate partial eclipse, with 58% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, created an interesting spectacle for observers over most of Antarctica.
1 Jul, 2000 AD
18:07–20:57 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.48; Saros 117)
A small partial eclipse was visible from the far south Pacific and the tip of South America. With just 48% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, this was of limited interest. 		   
16 Jul, 2000 AD
10:48–17:02 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.77; Saros 129)
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 over the Pacific, Australia, and East Asia. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 56 minutes in total.
31 Jul, 2000 AD
00:37–03:48 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.60; Saros 155)
A moderate partial eclipse, with 60% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, created an interesting spectacle for observers from northern Siberia, Alaska, northwest Canada, and northern Greenland.
25 Dec, 2000 AD
15:26–19:43 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.72; Saros 122)
A moderate partial eclipse, with 72% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, created an interesting spectacle for observers from most of North and Central America.
