    The predictability of solar and lunar eclipses allows science to map out when they will happen up to hundreds of years in advance. Down to the day or two, along with a world map of exactly where they will be visible and for how long. Been eyeing timeanddate's calendar for a little while now, a page I have bookmarked just so I don't forgot. Recommend playing around with it, it's a great reference.

    This particular calendar shows every lunar and solar eclipse, past and present, and you can filter results based on the type of eclipse, where in the world they will be visible and even chunks of decades, starting from 1900 and projecting out all the way to the year 2199!

    We have just two upcoming for 2020 remaining:

    Lunar Eclipse (Penumbral) - can be seen in most of North America on November 29th and 30th.

    Solar Eclipse (Total) - can be seen only in the southern hemisphere like southern Africa, southern South America and Antarctica.

    Next one to circle on your calendar I think is the Total Lunar Eclipse happening on May 26th, 2021. Half the US, the western half should be able to witness this for about 14 minutes, weather permitting.

    Great thread and great source. I always wanted to have a better way of checking and telling when one would happen. I always seem to miss them.

    Circled! Thanks. That's a really good tracking site. Made a post about using same site for tracking meteor showers.
