Lunar Eclipses, 1520–1501 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).
3 Mar, 1520 BC
max: 15:36 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.21; Saros 18)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 5 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 21% 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 18 minutes in total. 		   
27 Aug, 1520 BC
max: 00:01 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.30; Saros 23)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 21 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 30% 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 41 minutes in total. 		   
21 Feb, 1519 BC
max: 06:14 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.81; Saros 28)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 81% 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 54 minutes. 		   
16 Aug, 1519 BC
max: 07:10 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.03; Saros 33)
A tiny bite out of the Moon may have been visible at maximum, though just 3% of the Moon was shadowed in a partial eclipse which lasted for 42 minutes and 36 seconds. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse. 		   
11 Jan, 1518 BC
max: 22:13 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 1.09; Saros 0)
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 51 minutes in all, though for most of it, the eclipse was extremely difficult or impossible to see. 		   
7 Jul, 1518 BC
max: 13:24 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse

The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 25% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 45 minutes. 		   
31 Dec, 1518 BC
max: 21:33 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.25; Saros 10)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 16 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 25% 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 43 minutes in total. 		   
26 Jun, 1517 BC
max: 06:07 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.57; Saros 15)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 34 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 57% 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 32 minutes in total. 		   
19 Dec, 1517 BC

Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.11; Saros 20)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 51 minutes exactly. The Moon was 11% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 29 minutes in total.

max: 08:49 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.93; Saros 30)
