Plan ahead
The next 400 days in the available catalog. Event pages explain local visibility and prediction uncertainty.
Catalog refreshed . Dates and predictions come from the catalog used by Forecast Bar, with a source on every event.
Calendar day groupings use UTC. Event times adapt to your device’s time zone when JavaScript is available. Exact local visibility and weather can differ from the global catalog timing.
A little context. A better view.
A solar eclipse is visible only within its viewing region, and the central path is narrower still. Lunar eclipses require the Moon to be above your horizon. A regional description does not guarantee visibility at your exact location.
The time in the catalog marks greatest eclipse. Your local start, maximum and end may differ. Follow the source maps and local circumstances before choosing an observing site.
Use a safe solar viewer that meets ISO 12312-2 for partial and annular phases. Ordinary sunglasses are not suitable. Never look through unfiltered binoculars, a camera or a telescope while wearing eclipse glasses; optics require appropriate front-mounted solar filters.
An eclipse can be geometrically visible and hidden by weather. Check the forecast close to the event and keep plans flexible. Lunar eclipses can be observed without special eye protection.
