Defined model
A year with a total solar eclipse
- Probability:
- 67%
- Odds:
- 2 to 1
- dBan
- +3.1 dBan
NASA’s catalogue records at least one total solar eclipse somewhere on Earth in 67 of the 100 calendar years from 2001 through 2100.
Calculation
p = 67 years with a type T eclipse / 100 years
Assumptions
The count uses distinct calendar years in NASA’s catalogue. Type T and T+ entries count as total eclipses. Hybrid eclipses are excluded, and visibility from any particular location is not implied.
