You can go to any eclipse by selecting the milennium, century and 20-year period from the navigation tabs above; then click on an eclipse's date in the list below to to go its page.

You can see the solar eclipses or the combined eclipse catalog by clicking "Solar Eclipses" or "All Eclipses" in the top-right tabs.

Lunar Eclipses, 1040–1021 BC

Note that eclipse dates are specified relative to UT. You have not selected a timezone for eclipse timings, so all times are shown in UT (essentially GMT).
4 May, 1040 BC
max: 22:56 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.14; Saros 24)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 55 minutes and 18 seconds. The Moon was 14% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 20 minutes in total. 		   
28 Oct, 1040 BC
max: 06:13 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.34; Saros 29)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 22 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 34% 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 35 minutes in total. 		   
24 Apr, 1039 BC
max: 09:50 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.15; Saros 34)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 58 minutes and 24 seconds. The Moon was 15% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 30 minutes in total. 		   
17 Oct, 1039 BC
max: 17:39 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.08; Saros 39)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 41 minutes and 36 seconds. The Moon was 8% 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. 		   
13 Apr, 1038 BC
max: 13:30 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.74; Saros 44)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 74% 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 4 hours and 9 minutes. 		   
7 Oct, 1038 BC
max: 09:11 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.86; Saros 49)
At maximum eclipse, 86% 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 and 48 minutes overall. 		   
2 Mar, 1037 BC
max: 23:14 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.08; Saros 16)
A tiny bite out of the Moon may have been visible at maximum, though just 8% of the Moon was shadowed in a partial eclipse which lasted for 1 hour and 8 minutes. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse. 		   
27 Aug, 1037 BC
max: 12:45 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.19; Saros 21)
At maximum eclipse, a small bite out of the Moon should have been visible. The eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 38 minutes, with just 19% of the Moon in shadow at maximum. 		   
20 Feb, 1036 BC
max: 07:05 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.53; Saros 26)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 34 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 53% 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 36 minutes in total. 		   
16 Aug, 1036 BC
max: 19:28 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.48; Saros 31)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 35 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 48% 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 47 minutes in total.

max: 02:57 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.19; Saros 8)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 19% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 59 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see. 		   
30 Jan, 1034 BC
max: 13:26 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.61; Saros 46)
