Introduction

Welcome to EclipseWise.com - a website dedicated to predictions and information on eclipses of the Sun and Moon. Although I've been responsible for the NASA Eclipse Website for many years, this new website based on the recent publications Thousand Year Canon of Solar Eclipses 1501 to 2500 and the Thousand Year Canon of Lunar Eclipses 1501 to 2500.

EclipseWise.com features a graphical interface offering a more intuitive way of accessing eclipse predictions. For example, the figures below present a concise preview of all upcoming solar and lunar eclipses over the next seven years. Each of the small eclipse figures links to a page about that particular eclipse. Visit the Key to Solar Eclipse Figures and the Key to Lunar Eclipse Figures for a detailed explanation of these figures.

If you are interested in eclipses of the Sun, go directly to the Solar Eclipses main page. Similarly, you can find details about eclipses of the Moon on the Lunar Eclipses main page. Each of these pages offers thumbnail previews of upcoming eclipses that link to pages with more information for each eclipse. You'll also find many more links at the bottom of these two key pages.

At the top and bottom of every page on EclipseWise, you'll find handy links for:

| Home (this page) | Solar Eclipses | Lunar Eclipses | Contact |

New to eclipses? Your first stop should be to the Frequently Asked Questions page, as well as Solar Eclipses for Beginners and Lunar Eclipses for Beginners. EclipseWise.com will provide you with all the information you need about the when and where of eclipses both past and future.

You can help support this web site by making a donation.

Clear skies.

I created and was responsible for running the NASA Eclipse Website since its inception in 1996. I'm now retired. I don't have any NASA grants nor do I have funding of any kind. Nevertheless, I am passionate about the prediction of eclipses so my work continues to provide the very best information on past, present and future eclipses to anyone with an internet connection and a browsing device.

If you find the information on this web site of use, I invite you to help support EclipseWise.com. Current expenses include:

  • Web Site Hosting - the annual fee associated with paying a service to host a web site
  • Domain Name - the annual fee for using the domain name EclipseWise.com
  • Web Site Development - occasional expenses to pay a web developer to help in creating new capabilities and features on the web site

Your generous donation can help me continue to make EclipseWise.com the very best source for predictions of solar and lunar eclipses. I've placed a PayPal donation button below for your convenience.

I am also available for presenting lectures on eclipses and astronomy at your event, meeting or convention. The honorarium I receive for speaking engagements is another way to support my eclipse work. See Public Talks and Speaking Engagements for more information.

The book sales of the Thousand Year Canon of Solar Eclipses 1501 to 2500 and the Thousand Year Canon of Lunar Eclipses 1501 to 2500 offer one more way of supporting EclipseWise.com.

Thanks for your generous support and I wish you clear skies at your next eclipse!
