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, 0941–0960 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).
12 Jun, 0941 AD
max: 00:51 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.80; Saros 103)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 2 hours and 57 minutes, with 80% of the Moon in darkness at maximum.
   
6 Dec, 0941 AD
max: 17:38 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.97; Saros 108)
At maximum eclipse, 97% 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 40 minutes overall.
   
3 May, 0942 AD
max: 10:33 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.63; Saros 75)
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 21 minutes.
   
1 Jun, 0942 AD
max: 17:19 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.45; Saros 113)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 52 minutes, just 45% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
26 Oct, 0942 AD
max: 22:32 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.54; Saros 80)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 33 minutes, just 54% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
   
23 Apr, 0943 AD
max: 01:44 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.96; Saros 85)
The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 12 minutes. With 96% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event.
   
16 Oct, 0943 AD
max: 04:50 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.88; Saros 90)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 3 hours and 8 minutes, with 88% of the Moon in darkness at maximum.
   
11 Apr, 0944 AD
max: 10:45 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.34; Saros 95)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 24 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 34% 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 41 minutes in total.
   
4 Oct, 0944 AD
max: 18:01 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.52; Saros 100)

31 Mar, 0945 AD
max: 12:45 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 1.00; Saros 105)
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 44 minutes in all, though for most of it, the eclipse was extremely difficult or impossible to see.
   
24 Sep, 0945 AD
max: 10:14 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse

(penum. mag. 0.78; Saros 77)
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 4 hours and 5 minutes.

max: 13:45 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.92; Saros 82)

max: 07:17 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.15; Saros 87)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 57 minutes and 18 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 21 minutes in total.

max: 19:08 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.21; Saros 92)

17 Jan, 0949 AD
max: 13:43 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.05; Saros 107)
A tiny bite out of the Moon may have been visible at maximum, though just 5% of the Moon was shadowed in a partial eclipse which lasted for 47 minutes and 30 seconds. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse.
   
13 Jun, 0949 AD
max: 11:26 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.05; Saros 74)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 5% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 2 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.

A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 39 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 32 minutes in total.
