Lunar Eclipses, 1240–1221 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).
27 Jan, 1240 BC
max: 01:27 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.48; Saros 4)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 8 minutes, just 48% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow). 		   
25 Feb, 1240 BC
max: 13:41 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.20; Saros 42)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 10 minutes, just 20% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
23 Jul, 1240 BC
max: 14:32 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.43; Saros 9)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 11 minutes, just 43% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
