Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.14; Saros -2)
|
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 59 minutes and 48 seconds. The Moon was 14% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 38 minutes in total.

(penum. mag. 0.30; Saros -2)
|
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 29 minutes, just 30% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).

|
17 May, 1432 BC
max: 21:03 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.18; Saros -2)
|
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 18% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 55 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
|
|
29 May, 1414 BC
max: 04:18 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.05; Saros -2)
|
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 exactly, which was essentially impossible to see.
