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, 2481–2500 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).
16 Mar, 2481 AD
max: 07:43 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.61; Saros 140)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 35 minutes will plunge the full Moon into deep darkness, as it passes right through the centre of the Earth's umbral shadow. While the visual effect of a total eclipse is variable, the Moon may be stained a deep orange or red colour at maximum eclipse. This will be a great spectacle for everyone who sees it. The partial eclipse will last for 3 hours and 32 minutes in total.
   
8 Sep, 2481 AD
max: 12:33 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.48; Saros 145)
The Moon will be plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 34 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which will see 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 be stained a deep red colour. The partial eclipse will last for 3 hours and 42 minutes in total.
   
5 Mar, 2482 AD
max: 19:03 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.76; Saros 150)

28 Aug, 2482 AD
max: 23:47 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.85; Saros 155)

22 Feb, 2483 AD
max: 23:01 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.46; Saros 160)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse will be essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it will last 3 hours and 21 minutes, just 46% of the Moon's disc will be in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
   
20 Jul, 2483 AD
max: 09:14 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.56; Saros 127)

18 Aug, 2483 AD
max: 16:02 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.52; Saros 165)

13 Jan, 2484 AD
max: 03:51 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 1.04; Saros 132)
In a rare total penumbral eclipse, the entire Moon will be partially shaded by the Earth (though none of it will be in complete shadow), and the shading across the Moon should be quite visible at maximum eclipse. The penumbral phase will last for 4 hours and 44 minutes in all, though for most of it, the eclipse will be extremely difficult or impossible to see.
   
9 Jul, 2484 AD
max: 00:37 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.90; Saros 137)

Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.33; Saros 142)
The Moon will be plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 20 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which will see the Moon 33% of its diameter inside the Earth's umbral shadow.
