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, 1620–1601 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).
28 Jan, 1620 BC
max: 07:08 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.65; Saros 27)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 65% 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.
   
25 Jun, 1620 BC
max: 00:44 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.03; Saros -6)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 3% of the Moon's disc for 57 minutes and 18 seconds, which was essentially impossible to see.
   
24 Jul, 1620 BC
max: 16:09 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.49; Saros 32)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 26 minutes, just 49% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
19 Dec, 1620 BC
max: 12:21 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.39; Saros -1)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 39% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 9 minutes.
   
14 Jun, 1619 BC
max: 01:58 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.38; Saros 4)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 38% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 22 minutes.
   
9 Dec, 1619 BC
max: 02:17 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.59; Saros 9)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 35 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 36 minutes in total.
   
3 Jun, 1618 BC
max: 09:12 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.84; Saros 14)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 43 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 42 minutes in total.
   
28 Nov, 1618 BC
max: 10:07 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.
   
22 May, 1617 BC
max: 23:16 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.49; Saros 24)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 49% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 24 minutes.
   
16 Nov, 1617 BC
max: 10:57 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.57; Saros 29)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 46 minutes, just 57% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
   
13 Apr, 1616 BC
max: 09:34 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.95; Saros -4)
The Moon approached within 1% 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 2 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.
   
12 May, 1616 BC
max: 16:30 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.13; Saros 34)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 13% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 34 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
6 Oct, 1616 BC
max: 17:19 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.94; Saros 1)

2 Apr, 1615 BC
max: 22:48 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.30; Saros 6)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 19 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 33 minutes in total.
