A calendar year of seven eclipses can also feature 5 solar/2 lunar eclipses, but this last happened in the year 1935 and wonât happen again until the year 2206. Or you could have 2 solar/5 lunar eclipses in one calendar year, but this last happened in the year 1879 and wonât happen again until the year 2132.
And thatâs our Moon. (Looked at another way, total solar eclipses aren't rare; they occur roughly once every year or two somewhere on Earth. But any given spot on our planet's surface gets darkened by the Moon's shadow on average only once about every 400 years, so in that sense totality is indeed rare.)
