Lunar Eclipses in Saros Series 13

This page lists all the lunar eclipses in saros series 13 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 20.

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).
1 Dec, 1990 BC
max: 04:31 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 1.04; Saros 13)
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 32 minutes in all, though for most of it, the eclipse was extremely difficult or impossible to see.
