Over the longer time-frames, there are an equal number of lunar and solar eclipses.
However, it SEEMS like there are more lunar eclipses, and here's why. A solar eclipse is visible only across a small path along the surface of the Earth, and the Earth is 3/4 water. For example, the total solar eclipse on July 11, 2010 will include a handful of islands across the South Pacific and a tiny slice of South America; not many people will see it.
Lunar eclipses happen ON THE MOON, and anybody who can see the Moon - roughly half of the Earth's surface! - will be able to see the lunar eclipse. The total LUNAR eclipse on December 21. 2010 will, weather permitting, be visible from all of North America and the western parts of South America.
