Lunar Eclipses, 1300–1281 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).
28 Apr, 1300 BC
max: 20:00 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.61; Saros 20)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 37 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 38 minutes in total. 		   
23 Oct, 1300 BC
max: 13:45 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.61; Saros 25)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 40 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.
