Best Answer

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.
