Lunar Eclipses

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

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).
5 Apr, 1987 BC
max: 14:42 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.70; Saros 0)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 40 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 39 minutes in total.
   
15 Apr, 1969 BC
max: 22:00 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.83; Saros 0)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 42 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 40 minutes in total.

18 May, 1915 BC
max: 19:26 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.47; Saros 0)
