Of these, two annular and one total eclipse will be 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). [2] In the 21st century, the greatest number of eclipses in one year is four, in 2011, 2029, 2047, 2065, 2076, and 2094.
