Saros Series of Lunar Eclipses

Lunar Eclipses in Saros Series 181

This page lists all the lunar eclipses in saros series 181 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 188.

29 Aug, 2892 AD max: 06:52 UT Penumbral Lunar Eclipse (penum. mag. 0.10; Saros 181)	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 10% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 29 minutes, which will be essentially impossible to see.
10 Sep, 2910 AD max: 14:16 UT Penumbral Lunar Eclipse (penum. mag. 0.21; Saros 181)	This very subtle penumbral eclipse will be essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it will last 2 hours and 7 minutes, just 21% of the Moon's disc will be in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
20 Sep, 2928 AD max: 21:43 UT Penumbral Lunar Eclipse (penum. mag. 0.32; Saros 181)	This very subtle penumbral eclipse will be essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it will last 2 hours and 34 minutes, just 32% of the Moon's disc will be in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
2 Oct, 2946 AD max: 05:16 UT Penumbral Lunar Eclipse (penum. mag. 0.41; Saros 181)	This very subtle penumbral eclipse will be essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it will last 2 hours and 54 minutes, just 41% of the Moon's disc will be in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
12 Oct, 2964 AD max: 12:54 UT Penumbral Lunar Eclipse (penum. mag. 0.50; Saros 181)	This very subtle penumbral eclipse will be essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it will last 3 hours and 11 minutes, just 50% of the Moon's disc will be in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
23 Oct, 2982 AD max: 20:39 UT Penumbral Lunar Eclipse (penum. mag. 0.57; Saros 181)	This very subtle penumbral eclipse will be essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it will last 3 hours and 24 minutes, just 57% of the Moon's disc will be in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
4 Nov, 3000 AD max: 04:31 UT Penumbral Lunar Eclipse (penum. mag. 0.63; Saros 181)	This subtle penumbral eclipse may be visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 63% 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 35 minutes.
