This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 39 minutes, just 37% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).

Annular Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.95; Saros 101)
The Sun was 95% covered in a moderate annular eclipse, lasting 6 minutes and 30 seconds and covering a broad path up to 182 km wide.

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.72; Saros 113)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 72% 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 31 minutes.

max: 16:47 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.60; Saros 83)
A moderate partial eclipse, with 60% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, created an interesting spectacle.

max: 00:41 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.60; Saros 95)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 41 minutes plunged the full Moon into deep darkness, as it passed right through the centre of the Earth's umbral shadow. While the visual effect of a total eclipse is variable, the Moon may have been stained a deep orange or red colour at maximum eclipse. This was a great spectacle for everyone who saw it. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 49 minutes in total.
17 May, 0980 AD
max: 01:04 UT
Partial Solar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.33; Saros 121)
A small partial eclipse barely darkened the Sun. With just 33% of the Sun covered for viewers closest to the center, this was of limited interest.

Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.60; Saros 100)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 34 minutes plunged the full Moon into deep darkness, as it passed right through the centre of the Earth's umbral shadow. While the visual effect of a total eclipse is variable, the Moon may have been stained a deep orange or red colour at maximum eclipse. This was a great spectacle for everyone who saw it. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 30 minutes in total.
