Lunar Eclipses in Saros Series -7

This page lists all the lunar eclipses in saros series -7 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 0.

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 Dec, 1992 BC
max: 02:47 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.14; Saros -7)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 52 minutes and 36 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 14 minutes in total.
   
2 Jan, 1973 BC
max: 11:34 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.12; Saros -7)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 49 minutes exactly. The Moon was 12% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 13 minutes in total.
   
12 Jan, 1955 BC
max: 20:16 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.09; Saros -7)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 43 minutes and 12 seconds. The Moon was 9% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 11 minutes in total.
   
24 Jan, 1937 BC
max: 04:49 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.05; Saros -7)
The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for 32 minutes and 6 seconds. With the Moon just 5% 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 9 minutes in total.
   
3 Feb, 1919 BC
max: 13:14 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.99; Saros -7)
The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 6 minutes. With 99% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event.
   
14 Feb, 1901 BC
max: 21:29 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.93; Saros -7)
The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 2 minutes. With 93% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event.
   
25 Feb, 1883 BC
max: 05:37 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.85; Saros -7)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 2 hours and 57 minutes, with 85% of the Moon in darkness at maximum.
   
7 Mar, 1865 BC
max: 13:36 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.75; Saros -7)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 2 hours and 50 minutes, with 75% of the Moon in darkness at maximum.
   
18 Mar, 1847 BC
max: 21:27 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.65; Saros -7)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 2 hours and 40 minutes, with 65% of the Moon in darkness at maximum.
   
29 Mar, 1829 BC
max: 05:11 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.53; Saros -7)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 53% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 28 minutes.
   
9 Apr, 1811 BC
max: 12:50 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.41; Saros -7)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 41% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 13 minutes.
   
19 Apr, 1793 BC
max: 20:22 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.28; Saros -7)
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 51 minutes.
   
1 May, 1775 BC
max: 03:51 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.14; Saros -7)
At maximum eclipse, a small bite out of the Moon should have been visible. The eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 21 minutes, with just 14% of the Moon in shadow at maximum.
   
11 May, 1757 BC
max: 11:16 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.95; Saros -7)
The Moon approached within 0% 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 1 minute. 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 May, 1739 BC
max: 18:41 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.81; Saros -7)
At maximum eclipse, 81% 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 3 hours and 47 minutes overall.
   
2 Jun, 1721 BC
max: 02:04 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.67; Saros -7)
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 30 minutes.
   
13 Jun, 1703 BC
max: 09:29 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.54; Saros -7)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 10 minutes, just 54% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
   
23 Jun, 1685 BC
max: 16:55 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.40; Saros -7)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 48 minutes, just 40% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
   
5 Jul, 1667 BC
max: 00:25 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.28; Saros -7)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 22 minutes, just 28% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
   
15 Jul, 1649 BC
max: 07:59 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.16; Saros -7)
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 50 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
   
26 Jul, 1631 BC
max: 15:40 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.06; Saros -7)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 6% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 8 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
