The Next Solar Eclipse
and The Next Lunar Eclipse Dates
The most common eclipse question is, "When is the next eclipse?" Rather than overwhelm you with too much information, we broke the tables down in two sections. The first section is the upcoming eclipse dates listed for easy reference with changeable time zones so that you have the complete information. Below the upcoming eclipse dates is a table displaying an eight-year range of dates, times (GMT), lunar and solar saros series, nodal family and zodiac signs for current, future and past eclipses. Don't let the moon/sun images fool you. The image for the lunar eclipse is a copper colored full moon, similar to the appearance of the total lunar eclipse. The solar eclipse image is the yellow Sun with the Moon moving between the Sun and the Earth. When is the next eclipse for 2018? Scroll on down the page for all the information.
Note: Solar Eclipse is a "New Moon" aligned between the Sun and Earth. Lunar Eclipse is the "Full Moon" with the Earth aligned between the Sun and Moon.

The Saros Series is numbered differently for Solar and Lunar Eclipses. The letters L (Lunar) and S (Solar) are included with the Saros numbers to help distinguish the series that the eclipse belongs with. The Nodal Family is directly linked with the Saros Series. The North and South represent the node that the eclipse series originates from.
** And don't confuse the images with the Sun and Moon. The crescent is actually the Sun being eclipsed by the Moon during a solar eclipse, while the pinkish round circle is the Full Moon during a total lunar eclipse.
To adjust the times for your timezone, add or subtract the number of hours your timezone is from 0 UT. If you live in the western hemisphere (mostly the Americas) you would subtract the number of hours from the time shown on the table. Most of the eastern hemisphere will add hours to the time shown in the table.
