Lunar Eclipses in Saros Series 171

This page lists all the lunar eclipses in saros series 171 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 178.

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).
1 May, 2675 AD
max: 20:28 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.05; Saros 171)
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 5% of the Moon's disc for 59 minutes and 42 seconds, which will be essentially impossible to see. 		   
12 May, 2693 AD
max: 04:20 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.14; Saros 171)
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 14% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 40 minutes, which will be essentially impossible to see. 		   
24 May, 2711 AD
max: 12:05 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.25; Saros 171)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse will be essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it will last 2 hours and 10 minutes, just 25% of the Moon's disc will be in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow). 		   
3 Jun, 2729 AD
max: 19:45 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.36; Saros 171)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse will be essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it will last 2 hours and 35 minutes, just 36% of the Moon's disc will be in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow). 		   
15 Jun, 2747 AD
max: 03:20 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.48; Saros 171)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse will be essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it will last 2 hours and 56 minutes, just 48% of the Moon's disc will be in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow). 		   
25 Jun, 2765 AD
max: 10:52 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.60; Saros 171)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may be visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 60% 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 16 minutes. 		   
6 Jul, 2783 AD
max: 18:22 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.73; Saros 171)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may be visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 73% 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 33 minutes. 		   
17 Jul, 2801 AD
max: 01:49 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.86; Saros 171)
At maximum eclipse, 86% 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 3 hours and 48 minutes overall. 		   
28 Jul, 2819 AD
max: 09:17 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.05; Saros 171)
A tiny bite out of the Moon may be visible at maximum, though just 5% of the Moon will be shadowed in a partial eclipse lasting for 50 minutes and 12 seconds. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should be visible at maximum eclipse. 		   
7 Aug, 2837 AD
max: 16:46 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.18; Saros 171)
At maximum eclipse, a small bite out of the Moon should be visible. The eclipse will last for 1 hour and 31 minutes, with just 18% of the Moon in shadow at maximum. 		   
19 Aug, 2855 AD
max: 00:18 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.31; Saros 171)
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 1 hour and 56 minutes. 		   
29 Aug, 2873 AD
max: 07:51 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.43; Saros 171)
The Earth's shadow on the moon will be clearly visible in this eclipse, with 43% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse will last for 2 hours and 15 minutes. 		   
9 Sep, 2891 AD
max: 15:30 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.54; Saros 171)
The Earth's shadow on the moon will be clearly visible in this eclipse, with 54% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse will last for 2 hours and 29 minutes. 		   
20 Sep, 2909 AD
max: 23:14 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.65; Saros 171)
The Moon will be strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse lasting 2 hours and 40 minutes, with 65% of the Moon in darkness at maximum. 		   
2 Oct, 2927 AD
max: 07:03 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.74; Saros 171)
The Moon will be strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse lasting 2 hours and 49 minutes, with 74% of the Moon in darkness at maximum. 		   
12 Oct, 2945 AD
max: 14:58 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.83; Saros 171)
The Moon will be strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse lasting 2 hours and 56 minutes, with 83% of the Moon in darkness at maximum. 		   
23 Oct, 2963 AD
max: 23:01 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.90; Saros 171)
The Moon will be almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, lasting 3 hours and 2 minutes. With 90% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this will be quite a memorable event. 		   
3 Nov, 2981 AD
max: 07:11 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.96; Saros 171)
The Moon will be almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, lasting 3 hours and 6 minutes. With 96% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this will be quite a memorable event. 		   
14 Nov, 2999 AD
max: 15:27 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.02; Saros 171)
The Moon will barely edge into total eclipse for just 18 minutes and 30 seconds. With the Moon just 2% of its diameter into 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 9 minutes in total.
