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, 1440–1421 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).
16 May, 1440 BC
max: 12:35 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.77; Saros 27)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 2 hours and 52 minutes, with 77% of the Moon in darkness at maximum. 		   
9 Nov, 1440 BC
max: 20:22 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 1.02; Saros 32)
In a rare total penumbral eclipse, the entire Moon was partially shaded by the Earth (though none of it was in complete shadow), and the shading across the Moon should have been quite visible at maximum eclipse. The penumbral phase lasted for 4 hours and 49 minutes in all, though for most of it, the eclipse was extremely difficult or impossible to see. 		   
6 Apr, 1439 BC
max: 22:36 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.67; Saros -1)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 67% 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 30 minutes. 		   
6 May, 1439 BC
max: 05:53 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.38; Saros 37)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 40 minutes, just 38% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
30 Sep, 1439 BC
max: 04:06 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.57; Saros 4)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 31 minutes, just 57% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow). 		   
27 Mar, 1438 BC
max: 10:48 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.99; Saros 9)
The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 19 minutes. With 99% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event. 		   
19 Sep, 1438 BC
max: 14:30 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.94; Saros 14)
The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 7 minutes. With 94% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event. 		   
15 Mar, 1437 BC
max: 15:41 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.29; Saros 19)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 20 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 29% 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 44 minutes in total. 		   
8 Sep, 1437 BC
max: 05:54 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.52; Saros 24)

4 Mar, 1436 BC
max: 15:54 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 1.01; Saros 29)
In a rare total penumbral eclipse, the entire Moon was partially shaded by the Earth (though none of it was in complete shadow), and the shading across the Moon should have been quite visible at maximum eclipse. The penumbral phase lasted for 4 hours and 44 minutes in all, though for most of it, the eclipse was extremely difficult or impossible to see. 		   
28 Aug, 1436 BC
max: 21:44 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse

23 Jan, 1435 BC
max: 05:40 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.87; Saros 1)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 87% 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 7 minutes. 		   
19 Jul, 1435 BC
max: 20:24 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.89; Saros 6)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 89% 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 21 minutes. 		   
12 Jan, 1434 BC
max: 18:24 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.23; Saros 11)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 7 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 23% 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 20 minutes in total. 		   
8 Jul, 1434 BC
max: 22:22 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.18; Saros 16)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 1 hour and 6 minutes. The Moon was 18% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 41 minutes in total. 		   
2 Jan, 1433 BC
max: 10:15 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.27; Saros 21)

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 20 minutes in total. 		   
26 Jun, 1433 BC
max: 23:19 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.09; Saros 26)

max: 00:33 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.96; Saros 31)
The Moon approached within 5% of the Earth's umbral shadow at maximum eclipse; 96% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth, with the overall eclipse lasting 4 hours and 11 minutes. While less dramatic than a partial eclipse (as no part of the Moon was in complete shadow), a shading across the Moon should have been readily visible to observers. 		   
17 May, 1432 BC
max: 21:03 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.18; Saros -2)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 18% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 55 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see. 		   
16 Jun, 1432 BC
max: 06:04 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.76; Saros 36)

max: 06:09 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.78; Saros 18)
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 34 minutes in total.

Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.04; Saros 15)
The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for 29 minutes and 6 seconds. With the Moon just 4% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, the Moon may have been quite bright, but even so, this should have been worth seeing. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 14 minutes in total. 		   
12 Feb, 1426 BC
max: 16:01 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.33; Saros 20)

max: 03:41 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.08; Saros 30)
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 3 minutes. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse.

max: 09:38 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.95; Saros 35)
At maximum eclipse, 95% 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 4 hours and 38 minutes overall.
