Common questions
How many eclipses are there in 2026?
4: 2 solar and 2 lunar. In 2027 there are 5: 2 solar and 3 lunar.
When is the next total solar eclipse?
August 2, 2027, at 9°55' Leo (Saros 136). Totality is seen only along a narrow path; the eclipse page lists which major cities see it and how much of the Sun is covered.
When is the next total lunar eclipse?
December 31, 2028, at 10°33' Cancer (Saros 125). A lunar eclipse can be seen from anywhere the Moon is above the horizon at the time.
Why do eclipses come in pairs?
An eclipse needs a new or full moon close to the lunar nodes, where the Moon’s tilted orbit crosses the Sun’s path. The Sun passes each node about every six months, so eclipses cluster in “seasons”: a solar and a lunar eclipse two weeks apart, sometimes three in a row.
What is a Saros series?
A Saros is a cycle of 223 lunations (about 18 years and 11 days) after which Sun, Moon and node line up almost the same way again, so eclipses repeat with a similar type. Eclipses in the same series share a number.
