Solar Eclipses


Solar Eclipses: Past and Future

The following links give detailed descriptions of all eclipses of the Sun and Moon from 2000 through the current year. The original reports were published in the annual Observer's Handbook of Royal Astronomical Society of Canada.

Dates, maps and details for 5000 years of solar eclipses can be found in:

The Javascript Solar Eclipse Explorer lets you calculate the visibility of solar eclipses from any city for hundreds of years in the past and future:

Search for solar eclipses by date interval, type, and magnitude, and plot the results on Google maps:

NASA Solar Eclipse Publications Online

The Five Millennium Canon of Solar Eclipses contains maps of every solar eclipse from -1999 to +3000 (2000 BCE to 3000 CE). The supplemental Five Millennium Catalog of Solar Eclipses contains 201 pages of tables giving details for each eclipse.

The Fifty Year Canon of Solar Eclipses contains maps of every solar eclipse from 1986 to 2035 along with path coordinate tables for all central eclipses.

NASA's Solar Eclipse Bulletins are special publications issued periodically which focus on major upcoming solar eclipses. Each bulletin contains detailed eclipse predictions, local circumstances, maps and climatological data along the eclipse path.

NASA solar eclipse bulletins are also available in hard copy:
