Lunar Eclipses, 1580–1561 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).
5 May, 1580 BC
max: 00:27 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.68; Saros -4)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 68% 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 31 minutes. 		   
3 Jun, 1580 BC
max: 07:28 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.39; Saros 34)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 41 minutes, just 39% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
28 Oct, 1580 BC
max: 10:04 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.93; Saros 1)
At maximum eclipse, 93% 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 22 minutes overall. 		   
24 Apr, 1579 BC
max: 13:03 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.03; Saros 6)
The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for 26 minutes and 6 seconds. With the Moon just 3% 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 21 minutes in total. 		   
17 Oct, 1579 BC
max: 19:48 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.25; Saros 11)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 11 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 24 minutes in total. 		   
13 Apr, 1578 BC
max: 18:24 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.23; Saros 16)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 13 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 41 minutes in total. 		   
7 Oct, 1578 BC
max: 10:42 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.23; Saros 21)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 6 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 18 minutes in total. 		   
1 Apr, 1577 BC
max: 18:58 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.91; Saros 26)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 91% 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 32 minutes. 		   
26 Sep, 1577 BC
max: 02:15 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.95; Saros 31)
The Moon approached within 4% of the Earth's umbral shadow at maximum eclipse; 95% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth, with the overall eclipse lasting 4 hours and 3 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. 		   
20 Feb, 1576 BC
max: 09:53 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.06; Saros -2)
A tiny bite out of the Moon may have been visible at maximum, though just 6% of the Moon was shadowed in a partial eclipse which lasted for 55 minutes and 36 seconds. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse. 		   
16 Aug, 1576 BC
max: 23:49 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 1.03; Saros 3)
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 37 minutes in all, though for most of it, the eclipse was extremely difficult or impossible to see. 		   
9 Feb, 1575 BC
max: 22:46 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.47; Saros 8)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 28 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 47% 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 28 minutes in total. 		   
6 Aug, 1575 BC
max: 01:34 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.27; Saros 13)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 19 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 27% 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 45 minutes in total. 		   
30 Jan, 1574 BC
max: 14:58 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.00; Saros 18)
The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for a very brief 4 minutes and 12 seconds. With the Moon just barely inside 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 7 minutes in total. 		   
26 Jul, 1574 BC
max: 02:04 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.02; Saros 23)
The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for 23 minutes and 36 seconds. With the Moon just 2% 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 29 minutes in total. 		   
20 Jan, 1573 BC
max: 05:48 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.66; Saros 28)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 66% 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 33 minutes. 		   
14 Jun, 1573 BC
max: 22:44 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.16; Saros -5)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 16% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 51 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see. 		   
14 Jul, 1573 BC
max: 08:19 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.74; Saros 33)

9 Dec, 1573 BC
max: 22:06 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.07; Saros 0)
A tiny bite out of the Moon may have been visible at maximum, though just 7% of the Moon was shadowed in a partial eclipse which lasted for 1 hour and 6 minutes. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse. 		   
4 Jun, 1572 BC
max: 14:35 UT

28 Nov, 1572 BC
max: 21:27 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.29; Saros 10)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 21 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 29% of its diameter inside the Earth's umbral shadow.

25 May, 1571 BC
max: 07:46 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.79; Saros 15)
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.
