Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.31; Saros 23)

max: 21:49 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.03; Saros -10)
|
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 3% of the Moon's disc for 52 minutes and 30 seconds, which was essentially impossible to see.

Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.95; Saros 16)
|
The Sun was 95% covered in a moderate annular eclipse, lasting 5 minutes and 40 seconds and covering a broad path up to 189 km wide.

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.61; Saros 28)
|
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 61% 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 23 minutes.

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.82; Saros -5)
|
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 82% 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 58 minutes.

Hybrid Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.02; Saros 21)
|
The Sun was darkened for 1 minute and 28 seconds by a dramatic hybrid eclipse covering a narrow path at most 58 km wide. This was a sight worth seeing.

max: 20:54 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.03; Saros 33)
|
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 3% of the Moon's disc for 53 minutes and 18 seconds, which was essentially impossible to see.

max: 04:44 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.13; Saros 0)
|
At maximum eclipse, a small bite out of the Moon should have been visible. The eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 25 minutes, with just 13% of the Moon in shadow at maximum.

Hybrid Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.00; Saros 26)

Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.29; Saros 5)
|
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 14 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 29% of its diameter inside the Earth's umbral shadow. The visual effect of this depends on the state of the Earth's atmosphere, but the Moon may have been stained a deep red colour. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 22 minutes in total.

Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.81; Saros 31)
|

Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.35; Saros 10)
|
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 27 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 35% of its diameter inside the Earth's umbral shadow. The visual effect of this depends on the state of the Earth's atmosphere, but the Moon may have been stained a deep red colour. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 48 minutes in total.

Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.79; Saros 36)

Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.13; Saros 15)
|
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 51 minutes and 18 seconds. The Moon was 13% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 14 minutes in total.

Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.01; Saros 8)

Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.00; Saros 20)
|
The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for a brief 9 minutes and 18 seconds. With the Moon just barely inside 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 27 minutes in total.
