EclipseWise - Catalog of -2999 to 3000

Introduction

The Six Millennium Catalog of Solar Eclipses is organized into a series of sixty 100-year web pages, each one covering a century of solar eclipses. The 100-year table below covers the period -2999 to 3000 (3000 BCE to 3000 CE) [1]. The date and time of each eclipse is given for the instant of Greatest Eclipse. Each eclipse date links to a web page containing additional details and a map showing the geographic region of eclipse visibility for that eclipse. A description of each parameter in the catalog table can be found in Key to Catalog of Solar Eclipses.

For an explanation of how eclipses are classified, see Solar Eclipse Basics. The frequency of each eclipse type, the extremes in eclipse magnitude and duration, and other data for the century are presented in the Eclipse Statistics tables following the Catalog of Solar Eclipses. To select a different century, visit the Index to Six Millennium Catalog of Solar Eclipses.

Statistics for Solar Eclipses: -2999 to 3000 (3000 BCE to 3000 CE)

During the 6 Millennium period -2999 to 3000 (3000 BCE to 3000 CE [2] ), Earth will experience 14261 solar eclipses. The following table lists the number of eclipses of each type over this period.

Solar Eclipses: -2999 to 3000
Eclipse Type	Symbol	Number	Percent
All Eclipses	-	14261	100.0%
Partial	P	5042	35.4%
Annular	A	4761	33.4%
Total	T	3820	26.8%
Hybrid	H	638	4.5%

Annular and total eclipses can be classified as either central or non-central as follows: 1) Central (two limits), 2) Central (one limit) or 3) Non-Central (one limit). The statistical distribution of these classes during the 30th century CE appears in the following three tables (no Hybrids are included since all are central with two limits).

Annular and Total Eclipses
Classification	Number	Percent
All	8581	100.0%
Central (two limits)	8357	97.4%
Central (one limit)	108	1.3%
Non-Central (one limit)	116	1.4%

Annular Eclipses
Classification	Number	Percent
All Annular Eclipses	4761	100.0%
Central (two limits)	4601	96.6%
Central (one limit)	77	1.6%
Non-Central (one limit)	83	1.7%

Total Eclipses
Classification	Number	Percent
All Total Eclipses	3820	100.0%
Central (two limits)	3756	98.3%
Central (one limit)	31	0.8%
Non-Central (one limit)	33	0.9%

There are a minimum of two and a maximum of five solar eclipses in every calendar year. Statistics for the number of eclipses each year during the century are listed below.

Number of Eclipses Per Year: -2999 to 3000
Number of Eclipses Per Year	Number of Years
2	4342
3	1088
4	537
5	33

The years containing five solar eclipses are as follows: -2959, -2912, -2894, -2438, -2373, -2326, -2308, -2261, -1852, -1805, -1787, -1740, -1675, -1154, -1089, -568, -503, -438, -373, 18, 83, 148, 604, 669, 734, 1255, 1805, 1935, 2206, 2709, 2774, 2839, 2904.

The Number of Years with two solar eclipses in the same month: 52

The longest and shortest central eclipses of the century as well as largest and smallest partial eclipses appear in the following table.

Extreme Durations and Magnitudes of Eclipses: -2999 to 3000
Extrema Type	Date	Duration	Magnitude
Longest Annular Solar Eclipse	0150 Dec 07	12m23s	-
Shortest Annular Solar Eclipse	2931 Dec 30	00m00s	-
Longest Total Solar Eclipse	2186 Jul 16	07m29s	-
Shortest Total Solar Eclipse	0919 Feb 03	00m09s	-
Longest Hybrid Solar Eclipse	-0979 Aug 13	01m48s	-
Shortest Hybrid Solar Eclipse	-2750 May 07	00m00s	-
Largest Partial Solar Eclipse	-2746 Feb 22	-	0.99930
Smallest Partial Solar Eclipse	-1838 Apr 04	-	0.00015
