Timezone / Date

You have not selected a timezone for eclipse timings, so all times are shown in UT (essentially GMT).

Accuracy

Due to the erratic rotation of the Earth, the time and location of the eclipse cannot be forecast perfectly. This eclipse's time is estimated to be accurate ± 25m17s (with 95% confidence). This equates to an error in longitude of ± 6 degrees, or around ± 702 km (436 miles) at the latitude of greatest eclipse.

A total eclipse of the Moon occurred on 26 September, 1075 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 00:20 UT. The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for 27 minutes and 48 seconds. With the Moon just 3% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, the Moon may have been quite bright, but even so, this should have been worth seeing. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 12 minutes in total.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 5 hours and 14 minutes. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 12 minutes. The total eclipse lasted for 27 minutes and 48 seconds. Maximum eclipse was at 00:20:28 UT.
