Lunar Eclipses in Saros Series -5

This page lists all the lunar eclipses in saros series -5 which are in our database. Note that the beginning of this series is not included in our database, so the list below only covers the latter part of the series.

This series is partnered with solar Saros series 2.

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).

(umbral mag. 0.28; Saros -5)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 28% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 59 minutes.
   
20 Mar, 1717 BC
max: 13:00 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.18; Saros -5)
At maximum eclipse, a small bite out of the Moon should have been visible. The eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 37 minutes, with just 18% of the Moon in shadow at maximum.
   
31 Mar, 1699 BC
max: 20:18 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.07; Saros -5)
A tiny bite out of the Moon may have been visible at maximum, though just 7% of the Moon was shadowed in a partial eclipse which lasted for 1 hour and 1 minute. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse.
   
11 Apr, 1681 BC
max: 03:32 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.95; Saros -5)
The Moon approached within 5% of the Earth's umbral shadow at maximum eclipse; 95% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth, with the overall eclipse lasting 4 hours and 14 minutes. While less dramatic than a partial eclipse (as no part of the Moon was in complete shadow), a shading across the Moon should have been readily visible to observers.
   
22 Apr, 1663 BC
max: 10:43 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.82; Saros -5)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 82% 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 58 minutes.
   
2 May, 1645 BC
max: 17:52 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.69; Saros -5)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 69% 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 39 minutes.
   
14 May, 1627 BC
max: 01:02 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.55; Saros -5)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 19 minutes, just 55% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
   
24 May, 1609 BC
max: 08:12 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.42; Saros -5)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 54 minutes, just 42% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
   
4 Jun, 1591 BC
max: 15:26 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.29; Saros -5)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 26 minutes, just 29% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
   
14 Jun, 1573 BC
max: 22:44 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.16; Saros -5)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 16% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 51 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
   
26 Jun, 1555 BC
max: 06:06 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.05; Saros -5)
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 59 minutes and 30 seconds, which was essentially impossible to see.
