The Mayas, had the knolege to predict sun eclipses, as well as moon eclipses, they also discovered the use of the number cero, they had their own way of writing, and they had a very good way to read the stars. They built incredible monuments, and they new how to navigate,
On average, we can expect two lunar eclipses and two solar eclipses in any year. 2010 will have four eclipses, right on the average.
The answer very much depends on the year. One calendar year has a minimum of four eclipses, which are two solar eclipses and two lunar eclipses. A year can have as many as seven eclipses. So each year is different.

Solar and lunar eclipses have been happening since the Moon formed about 4 billion years ago. Human beings have ALWAYS known of eclipses, even if primitive men didn't know what caused them. The ancient Babylonians knew of eclipses, and there is considerable evidence that the megalithic monument Stonehenge in England was built as an eclipse calculator about 3,000 years ago.
Yes, these are called partial eclipses.
