The next total solar eclipse will occur on July 22, 2009, about five months from now.
The path of totality, where you would be able to see the eclipse, will track from
northern India across China and across the Pacific Ocean. It will only be visible in
Asia and at sea.
The next total eclipse visible in North America will be on August 22, 2017.
Please see the map below.

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.
A lunar eclipse occurs around 2-4 times a year. However, not everyone on Earth will be able to see every lunar eclipse as visibility depends on location and timing.
The "next" one of anything is a continually moving target. Any set answer will be out of date when the "next" event occurs. For the date and parameters of the "next" eclipse, check the NASA Eclipse page (at the link below) to see the particular details for any eclipse between the years 2000 BCE to 3000 AD._________________________________________________________ AnswerThe next total lunar eclipse is December 21, 2010, and will be visible from anywhere in North America.According to Astronomy Essentials and Earth Sky, the next lunar eclipse should arrive on April 25th, 2013. It's only a partial eclipse, and it will only last 27 minutes.
In the 100 years from 1901 to 2000, there were 228 solar eclipses and 229 lunar ones.So over a long period of time, that's an average of roughly 2.3 of each kind every year.There are typically 2 or 3 of each kind every year. But some years have only one, andoccasionally there can be a year with as many as five.There are generally two lunar eclipses each year. Of those, about half are partial or penumbral, and a lunar eclipse is visible from about one-half of the world. So wherever you live, you can expect to experience one total lunar eclipse about every other year.Depending on the precise alignment of the Sun, Moon and Earth, a lunar eclipse can take anywhere from a few minutes (for a partial eclipse) to three or four hours, from beginning to end.
On average there are as many solar eclipses as there are lunar ones. But each lunar eclipse can be seen from half the Earth, while a solar eclipse can only be seen from a relatively small strip of the Earth's surface. So in any one place it seems that solar eclipses are rare.
Well if its a lunar eclipse with a full moon on a solctice then it is 84 years. I dont know about a reagular lunar eclipse though.
none to 3 lunar eclipses a year
I've heard many, I've been told that being born on a lunar eclipse can result in you going crazy if you ever 'see' another, I was born on a lunar eclipse and I've seen plenty. People just say things, a myth is all it is.
Lunar and solar eclipses can occur within a few weeks of each other or up to two weeks apart. This is because they are both tied to the cycles of the Moon, but the specific type and timing of each eclipse depend on various factors, resulting in variable separations between lunar and solar eclipses.

One happens every year, but it only appears in specific regions every 20-50 years.
A lunar eclipse occurs roughly every 6 months, so it would be about 18.6 years before a lunar eclipse happens again on February 20th. This cycle of lunar eclipses repeating on the same date is known as the Saros cycle.
A lunar eclipse occurs around 2-4 times a year. However, not everyone on Earth will be able to see every lunar eclipse as visibility depends on location and timing.
During the 100 years of the 20th Century (1901 - 2000), there were 228 solar eclipses and 13 times lunar eclipses.
Lunar eclipses can happen a maximum of twice per year, and only at the time of the full moon. Sometimes the alignment is just right, and we get a total lunar eclipse. If the alignment isn't exact, we might get a partial or a penumbral eclipse instead of a total eclipse.
