Solar Eclipses, 1981–2000 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).
