Lunar Eclipses, 0980–0961 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).
2 Feb, 0980 BC
max: 04:29 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.08; Saros 8)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 8% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 18 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see. 		   
3 Mar, 0980 BC
max: 14:11 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.78; Saros 46)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 78% 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 42 minutes.
26 Aug, 0980 BC
max: 19:42 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.87; Saros 51)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 87% 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 4 hours and 18 minutes. 		   
22 Jan, 0979 BC
max: 14:16 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.24; Saros 18)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 24% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 52 minutes. 		   
17 Jul, 0979 BC
max: 19:39 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.29; Saros 23)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 29% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 54 minutes. 		   
11 Jan, 0978 BC
max: 16:39 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.48; Saros 28)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 36 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 48% 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 51 minutes in total. 		   
7 Jul, 0978 BC
max: 12:26 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.65; Saros 33)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 36 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 30 minutes in total.

(penum. mag. 0.74; Saros 48)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 74% 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 55 minutes.
