There’s an average of two lunar eclipses a year (very approximate) so there has been about 4,000 lunar eclipses since the time when Jesus was on the earth.

About the same can be said about solar eclipses except that their paths are much narrower than lunar eclipses, so they aren’t seen in the same place very often. A few places in the central U.S. will see totality for a second time in April 2024 after the August 2017 event. The paths cross somewhere in Illinois (the April 2024 eclipse track runs northeast while the 2017 event ran WNW-ESE).

The paths cross at our friends’ house in Jackson, MO. We’re going there again (Lord willing) for the second one!
