What the types mean
In a total solar eclipse the Moon fully covers the Sun for places inside a narrow path; in an annular one the Moon is too far away to cover it completely and a ring of Sun shows; in a partial one it covers only part. A lunar eclipse is the Moon passing through Earth's shadow, and it can be seen from anywhere on the night side of Earth.
How these were checked
The 4 solar eclipses in 2026 and 2027 match the US Naval Observatory's table in date and type. The Observatory offers no lunar eclipse table through its API, so the lunar eclipse dates here come from the calculation library alone and have not been compared with a second source.
