Eclipses of the Sun can only occur when the Moon is near one of its two orbital nodes [1] during the New Moon phase. It is then possible for the Moon's penumbral, umbral or antumbral shadows to sweep across Earth's surface thereby producing an eclipse. There are four types of solar eclipses:
Total eclipses are visible from within the Moon’s umbral shadow while annular eclipses are seen within the antumbral shadow . These eclipses can be classified as central [3] or non-central as:
The recurrence of solar eclipses is governed by the Saros cycle. For more information, see Periodicity of Solar Eclipses.
During the 10th century BCE[4], Earth experienced 226 solar eclipses. The following table shows the number of eclipses of each type over this period.
| Solar Eclipses: -0999 - -0900 | |||
| Eclipse Type | Symbol | Number | Percent |
| All Eclipses | - | 226 | 100.0% |
| Partial | P | 84 | 37.2% |
| Annular | A | 75 | 33.2% |
| Total | T | 61 | 27.0% |
| Hybrid | H | 6 | 2.7% |
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 10th century BCE 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 | 136 | 100.0% |
| Central (two limits) | 129 | 94.9% |
| Central (one limit) | 3 | 2.2% |
| Non-Central (one limit) | 4 | 2.9% |
| Annular Eclipses | ||
| Classification | Number | Percent |
| All Annular Eclipses | 75 | 100.0% |
| Central (two limits) | 71 | 94.7% |
| Central (one limit) | 3 | 4.0% |
| Non-Central (one limit) | 1 | 1.3% |
| Total Eclipses | ||
| Classification | Number | Percent |
| All Total Eclipses | 61 | 100.0% |
| Central (two limits) | 58 | 95.1% |
| Central (one limit) | 0 | 0.0% |
| Non-Central (one limit) | 3 | 4.9% |
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 Years with 2 Eclipses: 79
Number of Years with 3 Eclipses: 16
Number of Years with 4 Eclipses: 5
The longest and shortest central eclipses of the century as well as largest and smallest partial eclipses are listed in the below.

During the century, 1 Saros series begin and 3 Saros Series end. The list below gives the year and Saros number of each of these events.
1 Saros Series begin [Year/Saros]: -973/ 61
3 Saros Series end [Year/Saros]: -995/ 21 -941/ 16 -912/ 22

Detailed maps of all annular, total and hybrid eclipses during the 10th century BCE can be found at the World Atlas of Solar Eclipse Paths. The maps are broken down into 20 year intervals and may be accessed through the links below. Each map is stored in GIF format with a typical file size of 130 kilobytes.

Each link below displays a web page containing 100 years of solar eclipses. Every eclipse has links of global maps, central paths plotted on Google Maps, Saros series tables, and Besselian elements.
These web pages are part of the Five Millennium Catalog of Solar Eclipses: -1999 to +3000
The Gregorian calendar is used for all dates from 1582 Oct 15 onwards. Before that date, the Julian calendar is used. For more information on this topic, see Calendar Dates. The Julian calendar does not include the year 0. Thus the year 1 BCE is followed by the year 1 CE (See: BCE/CE Dating Conventions ). This is awkward for arithmetic calculations. Years in this catalog are numbered astronomically and include the year 0. Historians should note there is a difference of one year between astronomical dates and BCE dates. Thus, the astronomical year 0 corresponds to 1 BCE, and astronomical year -1 corresponds to 2 BCE, etc..
The coordinates of the Sun used in these predictions are based on the VSOP87 theory [Bretagnon and Francou, 1988]. The Moon's coordinates are based on the ELP-2000/82 theory [Chapront-Touze and Chapront, 1983]. For more information, see: Solar and Lunar Ephemerides. The revised value used for the Moon's secular acceleration is n-dot = -25.858 arc-sec/cy*cy, as deduced from the Apollo lunar laser ranging experiment (Chapront, Chapront-Touze, and Francou, 2002).
The largest uncertainty in the eclipse predictions is caused by fluctuations in Earth's rotation due primarily to tidal friction of the Moon. The resultant drift in apparent clock time is expressed as ΔT and is determined as follows:
A series of polynomial expressions have been derived to simplify the evaluation of ΔT for any time from -1999 to +3000. The uncertainty in ΔT over this period can be estimated from scatter in the measurements.
[1] The Moon's orbit is inclined about 5.1° to Earth's orbit around the Sun. The points where the lunar orbit intersects the plane of Earth's orbit are known as the nodes. The Moon moves from south to north of Earth's orbit at the ascending node, and from north to south at the descending node.
[2] Hybrid eclipses are also known as annular/total eclipses. Such an eclipse is both total and annular along different sections of its umbral path. (See: Five Millennium Catalog of Hybrid Solar Eclipses)
[3] Central solar eclipses are eclipses in which the central axis of the Moon's shadow strikes the Earth's surface. All partial (penumbral) eclipses are non-central eclipses since the shadow axis misses Earth. However, umbral eclipses (total, annular and hybrid) may be either central (usually) or non-central (rarely).
[4] The terms BCE and CE are abbreviations for "Before Common Era" and "Common Era," respectively. They are the secular equivalents to the BC and AD dating conventions. (See: Year Dating Conventions )
[5] Greatest eclipse is defined as the instant when the axis of the Moon's shadow passes closest to the Earth's center. For total eclipses, the instant of greatest eclipse is virtually identical to the instants of greatest magnitude and greatest duration. However, for annular eclipses, the instant of greatest duration may occur at either the time of greatest eclipse or near the sunrise and sunset points of the eclipse path.
The information presented on this web page is based on data published in Five Millennium Canon of Solar Eclipses: -1999 to +3000 and Five Millennium Catalog of Solar Eclipses: -1999 to +3000. The individual global maps appearing in links were extracted from full page plates appearing in Five Millennium Canon by Dan McGlaun. The Besselian elements were provided by Jean Meeus. Fred Espenak assumes full responsibility for the accuracy of all eclipse calculations.
