Lunar Eclipses, 0540–0521 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).
24 Jun, 0540 BC
max: 14:26 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.58; Saros 50)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 42 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 53 minutes in total. 		   
19 Dec, 0540 BC
max: 08:18 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.64; Saros 55)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 2 hours and 41 minutes, with 64% of the Moon in darkness at maximum. 		   
13 Jun, 0539 BC
max: 18:02 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.22; Saros 60)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 22% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 48 minutes. 		   
9 Nov, 0539 BC
max: 03:55 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.13; Saros 27)
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 49 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see. 		   
8 Dec, 0539 BC
max: 19:41 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.30; Saros 65)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 36 minutes, just 30% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
4 May, 0538 BC
max: 21:16 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.13; Saros 32)
At maximum eclipse, a small bite out of the Moon should have been visible. The eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 17 minutes, with just 13% of the Moon in shadow at maximum.

(umbral mag. 1.49; Saros 42)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 29 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 49% 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 27 minutes in total. 		   
17 Oct, 0537 BC
max: 04:22 UT
