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, 1260–1241 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).
9 Mar, 1260 BC
max: 02:14 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.64; Saros 22)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 43 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 54 minutes in total. 		   
1 Sep, 1260 BC
max: 18:32 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.86; Saros 27)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 39 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 31 minutes in total.

max: 02:15 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.31; Saros 32)
