An eclipse of the moon happens when the shadow of the earth falls across the moon. This happens on a recurring basis and thus your question is meaningless - as eclipses of the moon have happened in the far past and will continue to happen into the fare future - counting them is impossible!
What else can I help you with?
What type of patterns do eclipses form?
Eclipses form predictable patterns based on the alignment of the Sun, Earth, and Moon. Solar eclipses occur during a new moon when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, casting a shadow on Earth. Lunar eclipses occur when Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, causing Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon.
Why eclipses are caused?
It happens when the sun and the Moon are in alignment.
Which objects motion causes eclipses of the sun?
The solar eclipse occurs when the moon is in between the sun and earth . So because the sun is the center of the solar system and is not supposed to move in it the earth and moon's movement causes the eclipse
Has anyone ever witnessed a eclipse?
Yes, many people have witnessed a solar or lunar eclipse. Solar eclipses occur when the moon passes between the sun and the Earth, temporarily blocking the sun's light. Lunar eclipses occur when the Earth blocks the sun's light from reaching the moon. Both types of eclipses can be observed by people on Earth under the right conditions.
Were total eclipses or annular eclipses more common in the distant past?
In the very distant past, the Moon's orbit was closer to Earth than it is now, and the Moon continues to VERY SLOWLY recede in its orbit. So it is likely (although I have not seen any calculations to bear this out) that in the distant past there would have been fewer annular eclipses and more total eclipses. However, there was nobody around to notice.

How many eclipses are there?

How many solar eclipses are there in 2 years?

Why and when do the lunar and solar eclipses occur?
Lunar eclipses occur when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon. Solar eclipses happen when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, blocking the Sun's light from reaching Earth. Lunar eclipses can only happen during a full moon, while solar eclipses can only occur during a new moon.
Do solar eclipses occur at full or new moon?
New moon (the Earth goes into the shadow of the Moon) Lunar eclipses occur at full moon (the Moon goes into the Earth's shadow)
