Lunar Eclipses, 0160–0141 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).
26 Jan, 0160 BC
max: 19:59 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.44; Saros 60)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 27 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 44% 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 29 minutes in total.
   
23 Jul, 0160 BC
max: 04:42 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.24; Saros 65)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 15 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 24% 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.
   
16 Jan, 0159 BC
max: 11:21 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse

12 Jul, 0159 BC
max: 05:06 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.94; Saros 75)
At maximum eclipse, 94% 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 35 minutes overall.
