This catalog has a page for every lunar eclipse from 2000 BC to 3000 AD, 12,064 in all, shown in groups of 20 years at a time. You can go to any eclipse by selecting the milennium, century and 20-year period from the navigation tabs above; then click on an eclipse's date in the list below to to go its page.

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, 1600–1581 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).
13 Jun, 1600 BC
max: 16:21 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.74; Saros 14)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 41 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 41 minutes in total. 		   
8 Dec, 1600 BC
max: 18:29 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.77; Saros 19)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 3 hours and 7 minutes, with 77% of the Moon in darkness at maximum. 		   
3 Jun, 1599 BC
max: 06:43 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.63; Saros 24)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 2 hours and 39 minutes, with 63% of the Moon in darkness at maximum. 		   
27 Nov, 1599 BC
max: 19:05 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.58; Saros 29)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 47 minutes, just 58% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow). 		   
24 Apr, 1598 BC
max: 17:03 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.82; Saros -4)
At maximum eclipse, 82% 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 3 hours and 48 minutes overall. 		   
23 May, 1598 BC
max: 23:59 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.26; Saros 34)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 12 minutes, just 26% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
18 Oct, 1598 BC
max: 01:38 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 23 minutes overall. 		   
13 Apr, 1597 BC
max: 05:59 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.17; Saros 6)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 1 hour and 2 minutes. The Moon was 17% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 28 minutes in total. 		   
6 Oct, 1597 BC
max: 11:05 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.26; Saros 11)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 12 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 26% 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 25 minutes in total. 		   
2 Apr, 1596 BC
max: 11:42 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.09; Saros 16)

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.77; Saros 26)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 77% 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 15 minutes. 		   
15 Sep, 1595 BC
max: 17:42 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.92; Saros 31)

19 Jan, 1592 BC
max: 06:27 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.96; Saros 18)
The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 4 minutes. With 96% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event.
