Solar and Lunar Eclipse Dates
This page provides a structured reference guide to the lunar and solar eclipses occurring in 2026 and 2027. Eclipses occur when the Sun, Earth, and Moon align closely with the orbital nodes of the Moon, producing either a lunar eclipse (Earth’s shadow on the Moon) or a solar eclipse (Moon’s shadow on Earth).
The tables below list eclipse dates and classifications. Visibility depends on geographic location. Solar eclipses require proper eye protection for safe observation unless totality is achieved at your location.
