List of solar eclipses in the 20th century

Of these, two annular and three total eclipses were non-central,[1] in the sense that the very center (axis) of the Moon's shadow will miss the Earth (for more information see gamma).

The predictions given here are by Fred Espenak of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.

[1] The longest measured duration in which the Moon completely covered the Sun, known as totality, was during the solar eclipse of June 20, 1955.

The longest annular solar eclipse of the 20th century took place on December 14, 1955, with a duration of 12 minutes and 9.17 seconds.

Two instances of back-to-back hybrid solar eclipses within a period of less than six months occurred in the 20th century.
