Do lunar eclipeses occur only every three years?
No. During the 5000-year period 2000 BCE to 3000 CE, there have been / will be a total of 12,064 lunar eclipses ... an average of about 2.4 per year. During the 10-year period 2001 to 2010, there are 24 lunar eclipses ... also 2.4 per year. There were 3 lunar eclipses in 2001, and 4 lunar eclipses in 2009. December 21, 2010 is/was the second lunar eclipse of 2010. So over the long term, you're looking at between 2 and 3 lunar eclipses every year.
How many eclipses in 2010?
On average, we can expect two lunar eclipses and two solar eclipses in any year. 2010 will have four eclipses, right on the average.
How often do lunar and solar eclipses occur?
Lunar Eclipses (the darkening of a full moon by the shadow of the Earth) occur every 6 months, and total lunar eclipses normally come in sets of three, followed by three partial eclipses.The lunar eclipse of June 26, 2010 is a partial eclipse visible mainly in Australia. There will be total lunar eclipses on December 21 (2010), June 15 (2011), and December 10 (2011).Solar Eclipses (shadow of the Moon partially or fully blocking the Sun) can occur two to five times a year, but the majority are partial eclipses. Total eclipses occur about once every 18 months, and affect a very limited area. The maximum coverage of the solar disk lasts between 6 and 7.5 minutes.
Where is the next location of lunar eclipse of 2009?
Lunar eclipses happen on the Moon; they are generally visible from the entire night side of the Earth. However, 2009 is an exceptionally bad year for lunar eclipses. There are three "penumbral" lunar eclipses, during which the Moon will be only slightly - and probably not visibly - dimmed. On December 31, 2009, a partial lunar eclipse will be visible from Asia, northern Africa and Europe. There will be a partial eclipse on June 26, 2010, best viewed from Australia. The next total lunar eclipse will occur on December 21, 2010, and should be clearly visible anywhere in North America, weather permitting.
Is there ever going to be an Eclipse?
There are generally two lunar eclipses and two solar eclipses each year. Sometimes you will see two partial eclipses instead of one total eclipse; in 2011, there will be four partial solar eclipses, and no total or annular solar eclipses. Since lunar eclipses happen on the Moon, they are visible from the entire night half of the Earth. Solar eclipses, when the Moon's shadow hits the Earth, affect very small areas of the Earth, and so they seem to be more rare. The next total lunar eclipse will happen on December 21, 2010, and will be visible from any point in North America.
When are the total eclipses of the sun from 2010 to 2030?
You can look up all the solar and lunar eclipses from 2000 BC to 3000 AD at the NASA Eclipse Web Page.

There are going to be four in 2010
When is the next lunar eclipse after February 9th 2009?
There will be penumbral lunar eclipses on July 7 and August 6, 2009. Don't bother to look; you won't notice them. There will be partial lunar eclipses on December 31 2009 and June 26, 2010. The December 31, 2009 lunar eclipse will probably not be noticeable; only about 8% of the Moon's surface will be darkened. The June 26, 2010 eclipse will darken a little more than half of the Moon. The next total lunar eclipse will be December 21, 2010.
When Next total lunar eclipse be viewed in Arkansas?

Can Iowa ever see the lunar and solar eclipse?

Do lunar eclipse occur more than solar eclipse?
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.
