The NASA Eclipse web site has catalogs of all eclipses from 2000 BC to 3000 AD. See the link below: http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse.html They even have maps and diagrams.
About two per year, since the Moon formed. So, around 4000 solar eclipses (and 4000 lunar eclipses) since the year 1. You can check the list of all eclipses since the year 2000 BC on the NASA Eclipse Web Page at the link below.
See the list of coming eclipses at the NASA link:http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse.htmlHere is a video explaining why we don't get solar eclipses every month. Interesting!
While solar eclipses happen about twice per year, they are typically observable only within limited areas. So solar eclipses are rarely seen in a particular location. For Auckland, NZ, there will be no total solar eclipses visible for the next thousand years. Partial eclipses occur two or three times per decade. The next partial solar eclipse will be 2012-Nov-14, and the Sun will be about 85% occulted.

There are generally two solar eclipses and two lunar eclipses every year. You can see a list of all the eclipses from 2000 BC to 3000 AD on the NASA Eclipse Web Site at http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse.html. The next total solar eclipse will be on July 22, 2009. It will be visible in northern India and China, and across the Pacific Ocean.
There have been total solar eclipses about every other year since the Moon formed 4 billion years ago. You can see the list of past and future eclipses from 2000 BC to 3000 AD on the NASA Eclipse Web Site at the link below.
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon moves between the Earth and the Sun in such a way that the moon blocks light traveling to the Earth. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse#2008-2011 for a list of recent and upcoming solar eclipses.

There are generally two solar eclipses each year. The next total solar eclipse will be on July 11, 2010. Unfortunately, it will be visible only across a narrow path across the South Pacific including a few atolls in French Polynesia, Easter Island, and the southern parts of Chile and Argentina. You can look up the list of all eclipses (solar and lunar!) on the NASA Eclipse Web Page at the link below.

We do. There are generally two solar eclipses and two lunar eclipses each year. Sometimes instead of having one "total" eclipse, we get two "partial" eclipses a month apart. Lunar eclipses SEEM more frequent, but that's not true; they're about equal. The apparent discrepancy is that solar eclipses happen when the Moon's shadow hits the Earth, and it's only visible for a fairly small path across the Earth. Only people within that narrow path can see the eclipse. Lunar eclipses happen when the Earth's shadow hits the Moon, so the eclipse happens ON THE MOON - and EVERYONE on the night half of the Earth can see it. The NASA Eclipse Web Site has a list of all the eclipses from the year 2000 BCE to 3000 AD, at the link below. Date: 10/9/13: Oops! The NASA web site is shut down as part of the US government's budget dispute. The link will be http://http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse.html when it comes back up.
There were four (4) lunar eclipses in 2009. Beginning with 1980, the following years list 3 (or 4) lunar eclipses: 1982 1984 1991 (4) 1998 2001 2002 2009 (4) 2013 2020 (4) 2027 2028
