This catalog has a page for every solar eclipse from 2000 BC to 3000 AD, 11,898 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 lunar eclipses or the combined eclipse catalog by clicking "Lunar Eclipses" or "All Eclipses" in the top-right tabs.

Solar Eclipses, 1961–1980 AD

The following chart shows the paths of the total (in blue), annular (in red), and hybrid (with a yellow outline) solar eclipses. Use the zoom controls on the left to zoom in and out; hover over the marker in the middle of an eclipse track to see information on that eclipse. Bear in mind that for each eclipse shown, a partial eclipse is visible over a much wider area.

The interactive map is currently not available.

Note that eclipse dates are specified relative to UT. You have not selected a timezone for eclipse timings, so all times are shown in UT (essentially GMT).
