Lunar Eclipses in Saros Series 170

This page lists all the lunar eclipses in saros series 170 which are in our database. Note that the end of this series is not included in our database, so the list below only covers the earlier part of the series.

This series is partnered with solar Saros series 177.

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).
31 May, 2664 AD
max: 23:48 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.03; Saros 170)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clips the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This will cause a microscopic darkening of just 3% of the Moon's disc for 51 minutes and 30 seconds, which will be essentially impossible to see. 		   
12 Jun, 2682 AD
max: 06:34 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.17; Saros 170)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clips the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This will cause a microscopic darkening of just 17% of the Moon's disc for 2 hours and 2 minutes, which will be essentially impossible to see. 		   
23 Jun, 2700 AD
max: 13:18 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.31; Saros 170)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse will be essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it will last 2 hours and 44 minutes, just 31% of the Moon's disc will be in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow). 		   
4 Jul, 2718 AD
max: 19:59 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.46; Saros 170)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse will be essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it will last 3 hours and 17 minutes, just 46% of the Moon's disc will be in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow). 		   
15 Jul, 2736 AD
max: 02:42 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.62; Saros 170)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may be visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 62% of the Moon's disc will be partially shaded by the Earth (none of it will be in total shadow), which will cause a gentle shadow gradient across its disc at maximum; the eclipse as a whole will last 3 hours and 42 minutes. 		   
26 Jul, 2754 AD
max: 09:25 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.77; Saros 170)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may be visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 77% of the Moon's disc will be partially shaded by the Earth (none of it will be in total shadow), which will cause a gentle shadow gradient across its disc at maximum; the eclipse as a whole will last 4 hours and 4 minutes. 		   
5 Aug, 2772 AD
max: 16:12 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.92; Saros 170)
At maximum eclipse, 92% of the Moon's disc will be partially shaded by the Earth, which will cause a slight shadow gradient across its disc; this subtle effect may be visible to careful observers. No part of the Moon will be in complete shadow. The eclipse will last 4 hours and 22 minutes overall. 		   
16 Aug, 2790 AD
max: 23:03 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.04; Saros 170)
A tiny bite out of the Moon may be visible at maximum, though just 4% of the Moon will be shadowed in a partial eclipse lasting for 46 minutes and 18 seconds. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should be visible at maximum eclipse. 		   
27 Aug, 2808 AD
max: 06:00 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.18; Saros 170)
At maximum eclipse, a small bite out of the Moon should be visible. The eclipse will last for 1 hour and 38 minutes, with just 18% of the Moon in shadow at maximum. 		   
7 Sep, 2826 AD
max: 13:04 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.31; Saros 170)
The Earth's shadow on the moon will be clearly visible in this eclipse, with 31% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse will last for 2 hours and 7 minutes. 		   
17 Sep, 2844 AD
max: 20:15 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.44; Saros 170)
The Earth's shadow on the moon will be clearly visible in this eclipse, with 44% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse will last for 2 hours and 27 minutes. 		   
29 Sep, 2862 AD
max: 03:34 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.55; Saros 170)
The Earth's shadow on the moon will be clearly visible in this eclipse, with 55% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse will last for 2 hours and 41 minutes. 		   
9 Oct, 2880 AD
max: 11:03 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.66; Saros 170)
The Moon will be strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse lasting 2 hours and 52 minutes, with 66% of the Moon in darkness at maximum. 		   
20 Oct, 2898 AD
max: 18:41 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.74; Saros 170)
The Moon will be strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse lasting 2 hours exactly, with 74% of the Moon in darkness at maximum. 		   
1 Nov, 2916 AD
max: 02:29 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.82; Saros 170)
The Moon will be strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse lasting 3 hours and 6 minutes, with 82% of the Moon in darkness at maximum.

Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.88; Saros 170)

22 Nov, 2952 AD
max: 18:32 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.93; Saros 170)
The Moon will be almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, lasting 3 hours and 13 minutes. With 93% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this will be quite a memorable event. 		   
4 Dec, 2970 AD
max: 02:45 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.98; Saros 170)
The Moon will be almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, lasting 3 hours and 15 minutes. With 98% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this will be quite a memorable event. 		   
14 Dec, 2988 AD
max: 11:06 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.01; Saros 170)
The Moon will barely edge into total eclipse for just 11 minutes and 36 seconds. With the Moon just barely inside the Earth's umbral shadow, the Moon may be quite bright, but even so, this should be worth seeing. The partial eclipse will last for 3 hours and 16 minutes in total.
