This is a list of solar eclipses in the 20th century. During the period 1901 to 2000 there were 228 solar eclipses of which 78 were partial, 73 were annular (two non-central), 71 were total (three non-central) and 6 were hybrids. The greatest number of eclipses in one year was five, in 1935, and one month, July 2000, had two eclipses.[1]
The table gives the date and time of the greatest eclipse (in dynamical time, which in this case is the time when the axis of the Moon's shadow cone passes closest to the centre of Earth).[2] It also gives the type of eclipse (either Total, Annular, Partial or Hybrid) and for total and annular eclipses it gives the duration of the eclipse. The location of the greatest eclipse and the path width are also given, as well as the geographical areas affected.
Notable eclipses of the 20th century include:
- 29 May 1919: this total eclipse was photographed by Arthur Eddington to verify general relativity,[citation needed]
- 14 December 1955: longest annular eclipse between 1001 and 2000 AD,[citation needed]
- 20 July 1963: plays a role in the Stephen King novels Gerald's Game and Dolores Claiborne as well as a Season 3 episode of "Mad Men (S03E07)"[citation needed]
- 10 July 1972: referred to in Carly Simon's #1 hit single "You're So Vain",[citation needed]
- 30 June 1973: a Concorde jet flew along the path, thereby extending the length of totality to 72 min,[citation needed]
- 29 March 1987: second hybrid eclipse in less than one year,[citation needed]
- 11 July 1991: subject of an episode of the TV series Nova entitled "Eclipse of the Century." Passed over major observatories in Hawaii,[citation needed]
- 10 May 1994: reached 99.9% totality momentarily over Atlanta, Georgia,[citation needed]
- 26 February 1998: several Haitians were killed after trying to avoid the eclipse by taking overextensive measures[citation needed]
- 31 July 2000: the second solar eclipse within one calendar month[citation needed]
