IN 2012 THEY CLAIM THERE WILL BE 3 ECLIPSES DOES ANYONE KNOW THE DATE ON WHICH THEY MAY TAKE PLACE

There are actually _four eclipses in 2012:
May 20 Annular Solar Eclipse
An annular solar eclipse occurs when the Moon is far enough away from the Earth that it is too small to completely cover the Sun, so we observe the Sun as a ring or annulus surrounding the Moon. This eclipse will be visible at sunrise on May 21 in southern China, at midday across the north Pacific Ocean, and at sunset on May 20 over much of the western U.S.A.
Times of maximum eclipse and magnitudes at major cities:
Albuquerque 01:36 UT 0.93
Calgary AB 01:14 UT 0.71
Eureka CA 01:40 UT 0.94
Guangzhou 22:10 UT 0.93
Hong Kong 22:08 UT 0.87
Monterrey 01:21 UT 0.59
Reno NV 01:31 UT 0.94
Shanghai 22:20 UT 0.87
Tokyo 22:35 UT 0.93
Victoria BC 01:16 UT 0.82
June 4 Partial Lunar Eclipse
The Moon will pass through the northern portion of the Earth’s shadow. Greatest eclipse will occur at 11:03:13 UT, when 37% of the Moon’s surface will be in the umbral shadow of Earth. This partial eclipse is visible all across the Pacific Ocean, and in countries on the Pacific rim.
November 13 Total Solar Eclipse
This eclipse will begin at sunrise in northern Australia and then will sweep across the south Pacific Ocean artfully avoiding any land, ending as the Sun sets off the coast of Chile.
Times of maximum eclipse and magnitude at major cities:
Auckland 21:27 UT 0.87
Cairns 20:40 UT 1.01
Sydney 21:03 UT 0.67
November 28 Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
The Moon will slip through the faint outer penumbral shadow of the Earth, with only a faint shading visible to the unaided eye. Observers in eastern Asia and Australia will get the best views, with maximum eclipse occurring at 14:33 UT.
May 20 Annular Solar Eclipse
