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, 1921–1940 AD

The following chart shows the position where the Moon is directly overhead at the maximum times of the total (in blue) and partial (in red) lunar eclipses (penumbral eclipses are omitted). Each eclipse will be visible approximately from the half of the Earth centred on that point. Use the zoom controls on the left to zoom in and out; hover over a marker to see the area of visibility and summary information on that eclipse.

The interactive map is currently not available.

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).
22 Apr, 1921 AD
max: 07:44 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.07; Saros 130)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 40 minutes and 6 seconds. The Moon was 7% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 22 minutes in total. 		   
16 Oct, 1921 AD
max: 22:53 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.93; Saros 135)
The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 19 minutes. With 93% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event. 		   
13 Mar, 1922 AD
max: 11:28 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.13; Saros 102)
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 36 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see. 		   
11 Apr, 1922 AD
max: 20:31 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.78; Saros 140)
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 43 minutes.
6 Oct, 1922 AD
max: 00:43 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.64; Saros 145)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 64% 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. 		   
3 Mar, 1923 AD
max: 03:31 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.37; Saros 112)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 37% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 7 minutes. 		   
26 Aug, 1923 AD
max: 10:39 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.16; Saros 117)
At maximum eclipse, a small bite out of the Moon should have been visible. The eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 34 minutes, with just 16% of the Moon in shadow at maximum. 		   
20 Feb, 1924 AD
max: 16:08 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.60; Saros 122)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 37 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 40 minutes in total. 		   
14 Aug, 1924 AD
max: 20:20 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.65; Saros 127)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 38 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 37 minutes in total. 		   
8 Feb, 1925 AD
max: 21:41 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.73; Saros 132)

4 Aug, 1925 AD
max: 11:52 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.75; Saros 137)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 2 hours and 49 minutes, with 75% of the Moon in darkness at maximum. 		   
28 Jan, 1926 AD
max: 21:20 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.56; Saros 142)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 43 minutes, just 56% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow). 		   
25 Jun, 1926 AD
max: 21:24 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.67; Saros 109)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 67% 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 33 minutes. 		   
25 Jul, 1926 AD
max: 04:59 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.35; Saros 147)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 36 minutes, just 35% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
19 Dec, 1926 AD
max: 06:19 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 1.03; Saros 114)
In a rare total penumbral eclipse, the entire Moon was partially shaded by the Earth (though none of it was in complete shadow), and the shading across the Moon should have been quite visible at maximum eclipse. The penumbral phase lasted for 4 hours and 28 minutes in all, though for most of it, the eclipse was extremely difficult or impossible to see. 		   
15 Jun, 1927 AD
max: 08:24 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.01; Saros 119)
The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for just 17 minutes and 42 seconds. With the Moon just 1% 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 23 minutes in total. 		   
8 Dec, 1927 AD
max: 17:34 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.35; Saros 124)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 20 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 35% 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 26 minutes in total. 		   
3 Jun, 1928 AD
max: 12:09 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.24; Saros 129)

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 43 minutes in total. 		   
27 Nov, 1928 AD
max: 09:01 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.15; Saros 134)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 54 minutes and 48 seconds. The Moon was 15% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 14 minutes in total. 		   
23 May, 1929 AD
max: 12:37 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.94; Saros 139)
At maximum eclipse, 94% 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 34 minutes overall.

(umbral mag. 1.50; Saros 121)
