The number of the saros series that the eclipse belongs to is given, followed by the type of the eclipse (either total, annular, partial or hybrid), the gamma of the eclipse (how centrally the shadow of the Moon strikes the Earth), and the magnitude of the eclipse (the fraction of the Sun's diameter obscured by the Moon). For total and annular ...
The most recent total solar eclipse in Kentucky was on April 8, 2024, and the most recent partial solar eclipse was on October 14, 2023 (not counting April 8). The next annular solar eclipse will occur on July 23, 2093; and the next partial solar eclipse will occur on August 12, 2026. [18]

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby obscuring the view of the Sun from a small part of Earth, totally or partially.Such an alignment occurs approximately every six months, during the eclipse season in its new moon phase, when the Moon's orbital plane is closest to the plane of Earth's orbit.

A total eclipse occurs when the observer is within the umbra, an annular eclipse when the observer is within the antumbra, and a partial eclipse when the observer is within the penumbra. During a lunar eclipse only the umbra and penumbra are applicable, because the antumbra of the Sun-Earth system lies far beyond the Moon.
During the 19th century, there were 242 solar eclipses of which 87 were partial, 77 were annular, 63 were total and 15 were hybrids between total and annular eclipses. [1] [2] In the 19th century, the greatest number of eclipses in one year is five, in 1805, though the years 1801, 1812, 1819, 1823, 1830, 1841, 1848, 1859, 1870, and 1880 had four eclipses each.
A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partially obscuring Earth's view of the Sun. Below is a complete list of total and annular eclipses visible anywhere within the modern extent of the United Kingdom between AD 1 and AD 2090 [1] and a description of forthcoming partial solar eclipses visible in Britain in the next fifteen years or so.
