Was there an eclipse just before Jesus died?

Since there are theories that work from a total eclipse back to a date for a crucifixion see wikipedia, and since people debate what year Jesus died anywhere from 28-40 AD, you may choose your date and location and determine if an eclipse occurred.

NASA eclipse maps are available here

You can pick a day you think Jesus died on and see if there was an eclipse in Jerusalem. The maps go from 1999 BC to 3000 AD.

But if he died on passover, there was no natural eclipse, since the moon is on the opposite side of the earth on the 14th of Nissan.

It is more likely that God had a comet which was the birth star of Jesus which returned at the time of the cross and was intended to destroy mankind as the judgement of God. Christ bore our sin and paid the penalty for all our sin and thwarted the destruction.
