11 Aug, 1193 BC
max: 17:57 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.32; Saros 48)

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.91; Saros 48)
At maximum eclipse, 91% 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 3 hours exactly overall.

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.78; Saros 48)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 78% 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 45 minutes.

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.65; Saros 48)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 65% 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 30 minutes.

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.53; Saros 48)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 13 minutes, just 53% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.42; Saros 48)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 54 minutes, just 42% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.32; Saros 48)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 34 minutes, just 32% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.23; Saros 48)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 13 minutes, just 23% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
   
9 Sep, 0070 AD
max: 01:41 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.16; Saros 48)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 16% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 50 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.

max: 09:42 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.09; Saros 48)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 9% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 25 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.04; Saros 48)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 4% of the Moon's disc for 56 minutes and 36 seconds, which was essentially impossible to see.
