What's the difference between a solar and lunar eclipse?
A solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, blocking some or all of the Sun's light as seen from Earth. A lunar eclipse happens when Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, casting Earth's shadow onto the Moon.
What are the dates below calculated from?
Calculated from the real positions of the Sun, Moon, and Earth via Swiss Ephemeris, finding the exact geometry of each eclipse — not copied from another site.
Can every eclipse be seen from anywhere on Earth?
No. Each eclipse is only visible from certain parts of the world, depending on the exact geometry at the time. The dates in this table are the moment of maximum eclipse in UTC, not a statement of visibility from any particular location.
