During the year 2009, two solar and four lunar eclipses occur as follows:
- 2009 Jan 26: Annular Solar Eclipse
- 2009 Feb 09: Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
- 2009 Jul 07: Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
- 2009 Jul 22: Total Solar Eclipse
- 2009 Aug 06: Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
- 2009 Dec 31: Partial Lunar Eclipse
Predictions for the eclipses are summarized in Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. World maps show the regions of visibility for each eclipse. The lunar eclipse diagrams also include the path of the Moon through Earth's shadows. Contact times for each principal phase are tabulated along with the magnitudes and geocentric coordinates of the Sun and Moon at greatest eclipse.
All times and dates used in this publication are in Universal Time or UT. This astronomically derived time system is colloquially referred to as Greenwich Mean Time or GMT. To learn more about UT and how to convert UT to your own local time, see Time Zones and Universal Time.
