There are, on average, two solar eclipses and two lunar eclipses each year. In 1999, there was an annular solar eclipse on February 16, and a total solar eclipse on August 11.

For lunar eclipses, there was a penumbral lunar eclipse on January 21 and a partial lunar eclipse on July 16.

You can look up all eclipses from 2000 BC to 3000 AD on the NASA Eclipse web page.

What is the max number of solar eclipses in a year?

Five is the theoretical maximum number of solar eclipses in one calendar year; generally 4 partial eclipses and one total or annular eclipse. This configuration happens about every 200 years or so. Interestingly, there will be four solar eclipses in 2011; all will be partial eclipses, visible (if at all) only from polar regions. The last time there were five solar eclipses in a year was in 1935; the next time will be in 2206.


The total number of eclipses each year does not exceed?
