The table below summarizes the statistical distribution of lunar eclipse types over this five millennium period.Įach line in the table corresponds to one century and gives the breakdown of each eclipse type (penumbral, partial, and total). Longest Total Lunar Eclipse: 0318 May 31 Duration = 106.6mįive Millennium Catalog of Lunar Eclipses: -1999 to +3000 (2000 BCE to 3000 CE) Longest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 2669 Feb 08 Duration = 210.0m Longest Penumbral Lunar Eclipse: 1322 Nov 24 Duration = 296.5m The longest eclipses of the 5,000 year period are listed below. Statistics for the number of eclipses each year over the 5000 year period are listed below. There are a minimum of two and a maximum of five lunar eclipses in every calendar year. Using the above categories, the distribution of the 3,479 total eclipses is shown in the table below.
#HORARIO DEL ECLIPSE LUNAR FULL#
This is called a hybrid solar eclipse.Index to Five Millennium Catalog of Lunar Eclipses -1999 to +3000 (2000 BCE to 3000 CE) IntroductionĮclipses of the Moon can occur when the Moon is near one of its two orbital nodes during the Full Moon phase. Hybrid Solar Eclipse Hybrid Solar Eclipseīecause Earth's surface is curved, sometimes an eclipse can shift between annular and total as the Moon’s shadow moves across the globe. During a total or annular solar eclipse, people outside the area covered by the Moon’s inner shadow see a partial solar eclipse.
Only a part of the Sun will appear to be covered, giving it a crescent shape. Partial Solar Eclipse Partial Solar EclipseĪ partial solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth but the Sun, Moon, and Earth are not perfectly lined up. As a result, the Moon appears as a dark disk on top of a larger, bright disk, creating what looks like a ring around the Moon. Because the Moon is farther away from Earth, it appears smaller than the Sun and does not completely cover the Sun. will be on April 8, 2024.Īnnular Solar Eclipse Annular Solar EclipseĪn annular solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, but when it is at or near its farthest point from Earth. A total solar eclipse is the only type of solar eclipse where viewers can momentarily remove their eclipse glasses (which are not the same as regular sunglasses) for the brief period of time when the Moon is completely blocking the Sun. Weather permitting, people in the path of a total solar eclipse can see the Sun’s corona, the outer atmosphere, which is otherwise usually obscured by the bright face of the Sun. The sky will darken, as if it were dawn or dusk. People located in the center of the Moon’s shadow when it hits Earth will experience a total eclipse.

A hybrid eclipse appears as either a total or an annular eclipse (the left and middle images), depending on the observer’s location. From left to right, these images show a total solar eclipse, annular solar eclipse, and partial solar eclipse.
