Two to five eclipses of the Sun occur every year. Each of these events is only visible within the 7,000 kilometer wide track of the Moon's penumbral shadow as it sweeps across a portion of the Earth. If the dark core of the Moon's shadow (umbra) also crosses the Earth, then either an annular or total eclipse will be seen within its very narrow path. The umbral path is typically about 100 to 200 kilometers wide. For any given location, a partial eclipse occurs about once every two or three years. In comparison, annular and total eclipses are far rarer events. Eclipses for Beginners examines the geometry of solar eclipses in greater detail.
The table below summarizes the types and numbers of eclipses visible each century from Washington during the period 0001 CE to 3000 CE . The last two columns list the years in which annular and total eclipses are visible from the city. During this thirty century interval, 20 annular eclipses are visible from Washington ( 0252, 0324, 0451, 0623*, 0652, 0934*, 1008, 1234*, 1301*, 1536, 1694, 1791, 1811, 1838 ). For the same period, 5 total eclipses are visible from Washington ( 0664, 1079, 1451, 1478 and 2444 ).
BCE (Before Common Era) and CE (Common Era) are secular alternatives for the terms BC and AD, respectively. For more information, see Year Dating Conventions.

The following catalogs present details for major solar eclipses visible from Washington during the period 0001 CE to 3000 CE . For the purposes of this catalog, a major eclipse is defined as one whose magnitude is greater than 0.75 (this includes annular and total eclipses). All solar eclipses have been included which meet this criterion.
To assist in readability, major eclipses are identified using several color fonts. The following table is a key to eclipse types and colors.
| Color | Type of Eclipse | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Gray | minor partial eclipse | magnitude < 0.75 |
| Purple | major partial eclipse | magnitude ≥ 0.75 |
| Light Green | major partial eclipse (near Annular path) |
city within 500 km of Annular path |
| Green | ANNULAR ECLIPSE | city inside the path or within 15 km of path edge |
| Light Blue | major partial eclipse (near Total path) |
city within 500 km of Total path |
| Blue | TOTAL ECLIPSE | city inside the path or within 15 km of path edge |
The major eclipses have been organized into three catalogs:
Each catalog lists the date and the type of eclipse visible from Washington , followed by the local standard time (= GMT - 5.0) of the beginning, maximum and end of the eclipse. If daylight savings time is in effect, then one hour must be added to the times. For maximum eclipse, the catalog lists the Sun's altitude and azimuth as well as the magnitude of the eclipse (fraction of Sun's diameter covered). The number of years elapsed since the previous eclipse of the same type visible from Washington is listed next. If the eclipse is either annular or total from somewhere on Earth, then the distance (km) from Washington to the center and edge of the central eclipse path are provided. The last column offers important comments about the eclipse. If the eclipse is actually annular or total from Washington , then the duration of either annularity or totality is given. The Key to Solar Eclipse Viewing Circumstances provides a complete description of each item in the catalogs.
The following catalog lists all major solar eclipses visible from Washington during the period 0001 CE to 3000 CE . In this context, a major eclipse is one whose magnitude is larger than 0.75 (this includes all annular and total eclipses). A detailed description of each item in the catalog can be found in the Key to Solar Eclipse Viewing Circumstances.
Extreme care must be taken when watching a partial or annular eclipse. In either case, the remaining uneclipsed portion of the Sun is blindingly bright. For more information on this topic, please read Viewing a Solar Eclipse.

Key to Eclipse Circumstances Catalog
Return to Top of Page
The following catalog summarizes all annular eclipses with paths passing within 500 km of Washington during the period 0001 CE to 3000 CE . If the city actually lies within the antumbral path, then an annular eclipse is visible. Otherwise, a major partial eclipse will be seen. For cases when an annular eclipse occurs, the duration of the annular phase is listed in the last column. For convenience, all dates and times are given in local standard time (= GMT - 5.0) . A detailed description of each item in the catalog can be found in the Key to Solar Eclipse Viewing Circumstances.

Key to Eclipse Circumstances Catalog
Return to Top of Page
The following catalog summarizes all total eclipses with paths passing within 500 km of Washington during the period 0001 CE to 3000 CE . If the city actually lies within the umbral path, then a total eclipse is visible. Otherwise, a major partial eclipse will be seen. For cases when a total eclipse occurs, the duration of the total phase is listed in the last column. For convenience, all dates and times are given in local standard time (= GMT - 5.0) . A detailed description of each item in the catalog can be found in the Key to Solar Eclipse Viewing Circumstances.

Key to Eclipse Circumstances Catalog
Return to Top of Page
Three catalogs are available to investigate solar eclipses visible from Washington during the period 0001 CE to 3000 CE . The first catalog lists the local circumstances (times, magnitude, etc.) for every eclipse visible from the city and is organized into several web pages which cover ten centuries each. The second catalog includes only major eclipses (magnitude greater than 0.75 , and nearby annular and total eclipses). The third catalog focuses exclusively on annular and total eclipses seeen from within a distance of 15 km of the center of Washington . The catalogs should prove useful for historical research or for planning future observations.Catalog of All Solar Eclipses Visible from Washington
