From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This eclipse is a member of a semester series. An eclipse in a semester series of solar eclipses repeats approximately every 177 days and 4 hours (a semester) at alternating nodes of the Moon's orbit.[1]

The partial solar eclipses on July 1, 2000 and December 25, 2000 occur in the next lunar year eclipse set.
