Lunar Eclipses in Saros Series 109

This page lists all the lunar eclipses in saros series 109. The series contains 71 eclipses, occurring over 1262 years.

This series is partnered with solar Saros series 116.

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. Note that we only have mapping data for eclipses from year 1 AD, so any eclipses prior to that date will be missing. 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).
27 Jun, 0736 AD
max: 21:46 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.14; Saros 109)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 14% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 53 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
   
9 Jul, 0754 AD
max: 04:31 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.29; Saros 109)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 39 minutes, just 29% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
   
19 Jul, 0772 AD
max: 11:20 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.44; Saros 109)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 11 minutes, just 44% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
   
30 Jul, 0790 AD
max: 18:17 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.57; Saros 109)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 35 minutes, just 57% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
   
10 Aug, 0808 AD
max: 01:21 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.70; Saros 109)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 70% 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 54 minutes.
   
21 Aug, 0826 AD
max: 08:36 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.81; Saros 109)

31 Aug, 0844 AD
max: 15:58 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.92; Saros 109)
At maximum eclipse, 92% 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 20 minutes overall.
   
11 Sep, 0862 AD
max: 23:32 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 1.01; Saros 109)
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 29 minutes in all, though for most of it, the eclipse was extremely difficult or impossible to see.
   
22 Sep, 0880 AD
max: 07:16 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
