Eclipse calculations usually accurate to a few seconds
An Eclipse Never Comes Alone! A solar eclipse always occurs about two weeks before or after a lunar eclipse.
Usually, there are two eclipses in a row, but other times, there are three during the same eclipse season.
All eclipses 1900 — 2199
This is the first eclipse this season.
Second eclipse this season: February 5, 2065 — Partial Solar Eclipse
