There was 2 lunar eclipses in 2008.
On average, there are about 2-4 lunar eclipses each year. These can vary in type, with some being total eclipses and others being partial or penumbral eclipses.
There are two general types of Eclipse. They are Solar(Sun) and Lunar(Moon). Each of these eclipses can then be further classified into Total or Partial. Total is where the obscuring body completely blocks light from the third body. Partial is where the obscuring body only covers part of the third body.
Total lunar eclipses occur between 0-3 times per year.
There are generally two solar eclipses and two lunar eclipses each year. Of the lunar eclipses, about 40% are "total"; the remainder are partial or penumbral. A lunar eclipse is visible from one-half of the Earth's surface. So on average, and weather permitting, you will see a total lunar eclipse about every third year.
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.
none to 3 lunar eclipses a year

On average, we can expect two lunar eclipses and two solar eclipses in any year. 2010 will have four eclipses, right on the average.
On average, a person can expect to see about 230 lunar eclipses in a lifetime. Lunar eclipses occur a couple of times per year, but visibility depends on the individual's location and weather conditions.
This statement is inaccurate. Lunar and solar eclipses can be predicted with high accuracy using astronomical calculations and models. The timing and visibility of eclipses can be forecasted many years in advance.
There are typically between 2 to 7 eclipses each year, which can be a combination of solar and lunar eclipses. Solar eclipses occur when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, while lunar eclipses happen when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon.
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.
