A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 52 minutes exactly. The Moon was 11% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 28 minutes in total.

Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.98; Saros 78)
|
A large annular eclipse covered 98% of the Sun, creating a dramatic spectacle for observers in a path up to 157 km wide; it lasted 1 minute and 8 seconds at the point of maximum eclipse.

Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.89; Saros 45)
|
This was a deep partial eclipse, with 89% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center. This provided a significant spectacle for those who saw it.

Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.26; Saros 57)
|
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 12 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 26% 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 24 minutes in total.

Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.20; Saros 62)
|
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 1 hour and 9 minutes. The Moon was 20% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 41 minutes in total.

Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.93; Saros 55)
|
A small annular eclipse covered only 93% of the Sun in a very broad path, 283 km wide at maximum, and lasted 7 minutes and 43 seconds.

Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.01; Saros 67)
|
While technically a partial eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the Earth's umbral shadow, which may have been very difficult to observe in practice; though a shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse. The partial eclipse lasted for 19 minutes and 48 seconds.

Total Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.05; Saros 60)
|
A dramatic total eclipse plunged the Sun into darkness for 4 minutes and 18 seconds at maximum, creating an amazing spectacle for observers in a broad path up to 187 km wide.

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.96; Saros 72)
|
At maximum eclipse, 96% 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 4 hours and 37 minutes overall.

Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.09; Saros 39)
|
A tiny bite out of the Moon may have been visible at maximum, though just 9% of the Moon was shadowed in a partial eclipse which lasted for 1 hour and 6 minutes. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse.

Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.11; Saros 44)

Hybrid Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.00; Saros 70)
|
A fleeting hybrid eclipse covered a narrow path at most 14 km wide and lasted for just 24 seconds at the point of maximum eclipse.
