This catalog has a page for every lunar eclipse from 2000 BC to 3000 AD, 12,064 in all, shown in groups of 20 years at a time. You can go to any eclipse by selecting the milennium, century and 20-year period from the navigation tabs above; then click on an eclipse's date in the list below to to go its page.

You can see the solar eclipses or the combined eclipse catalog by clicking "Solar Eclipses" or "All Eclipses" in the top-right tabs.

Lunar Eclipses, 1480–1461 BC

Note that eclipse dates are specified relative to UT. You have not selected a timezone for eclipse timings, so all times are shown in UT (essentially GMT).
10 Jan, 1480 BC
max: 16:06 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.16; Saros 20)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 1 hour and 1 minute. The Moon was 16% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 30 minutes in total.
   
7 Jul, 1480 BC
max: 08:53 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.98; Saros 25)
The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 20 minutes. With 98% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event.
   
31 Dec, 1480 BC
max: 02:15 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.95; Saros 30)
The Moon approached within 4% of the Earth's umbral shadow at maximum eclipse; 95% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth, with the overall eclipse lasting 4 hours and 7 minutes. While less dramatic than a partial eclipse (as no part of the Moon was in complete shadow), a shading across the Moon should have been readily visible to observers.
   
27 May, 1479 BC
max: 22:35 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.01; Saros -3)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 1% of the Moon's disc for 33 minutes and 47 seconds, which was essentially impossible to see.
   
26 Jun, 1479 BC
max: 13:22 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.56; Saros 35)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 40 minutes, just 56% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
21 Nov, 1479 BC
max: 06:37 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.02; Saros 2)
A tiny bite out of the Moon may have been visible at maximum, though just 2% of the Moon was shadowed in a partial eclipse which lasted for 27 minutes and 24 seconds. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse.
   
17 May, 1478 BC
max: 00:01 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.38; Saros 7)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 38% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 21 minutes.
   
10 Nov, 1478 BC
max: 20:13 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.18; Saros 12)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 1 hour and 3 minutes. The Moon was 18% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 24 minutes in total.
   
5 May, 1477 BC
max: 07:29 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.84; Saros 17)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 43 minutes plunged the full Moon into deep darkness, as it passed right through the centre of the Earth's umbral shadow. While the visual effect of a total eclipse is variable, the Moon may have been stained a deep orange or red colour at maximum eclipse. This was a great spectacle for everyone who saw it. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 42 minutes in total.
   
30 Oct, 1477 BC
max: 03:36 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.19; Saros 22)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 1 hour and 7 minutes. The Moon was 19% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 35 minutes in total.
   
24 Apr, 1476 BC
max: 21:39 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.49; Saros 27)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 49% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 24 minutes.
   
19 Oct, 1476 BC
max: 04:13 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.99; Saros 32)
At maximum eclipse, 99% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth, which caused a slight shadow gradient across its disc; this subtle effect may have been visible to careful observers. No part of the Moon was in complete shadow. The eclipse lasted 4 hours and 45 minutes overall.
   
16 Mar, 1475 BC
max: 07:16 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.90; Saros -1)
At maximum eclipse, 90% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth, which caused a slight shadow gradient across its disc; this subtle effect may have been visible to careful observers. No part of the Moon was in complete shadow. The eclipse lasted 3 hours and 57 minutes overall.
   
14 Apr, 1475 BC
max: 14:49 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.13; Saros 37)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 13% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 37 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
8 Sep, 1475 BC
max: 11:55 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.63; Saros 4)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 63% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth (none of it was in total shadow), which caused a gentle shadow gradient across its disc at maximum; the eclipse as a whole lasted 3 hours and 43 minutes.
   
5 Mar, 1474 BC
max: 20:00 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.21; Saros 9)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 8 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 21% of its diameter inside the Earth's umbral shadow. The visual effect of this depends on the state of the Earth's atmosphere, but the Moon may have been stained a deep red colour. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 30 minutes in total.
   
28 Aug, 1474 BC
max: 21:50 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.03; Saros 14)
The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for 25 minutes and 36 seconds. With the Moon just 3% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, the Moon may have been quite bright, but even so, this should have been worth seeing. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 14 minutes in total.
   
23 Feb, 1473 BC
max: 01:29 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.07; Saros 19)
