Lunar Eclipses, 1640–1621 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).
8 Feb, 1640 BC
max: 10:33 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.51; Saros 7)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 38 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 51% 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 52 minutes in total. 		   
4 Aug, 1640 BC
max: 16:22 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.54; Saros 12)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 33 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 54% 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 31 minutes in total. 		   
28 Jan, 1639 BC
max: 13:09 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.81; Saros 17)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 3 hours and 9 minutes, with 81% of the Moon in darkness at maximum. 		   
25 Jul, 1639 BC
max: 04:20 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.78; Saros 22)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 3 hours and 3 minutes, with 78% of the Moon in darkness at maximum. 		   
19 Dec, 1639 BC
max: 11:48 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.16; Saros -11)
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 48 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see. 		   
17 Jan, 1638 BC
max: 22:50 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.60; Saros 27)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 60% 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 25 minutes.
14 Jun, 1638 BC
max: 18:14 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.18; 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 18% of the Moon's disc for 2 hours and 10 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see. 		   
14 Jul, 1638 BC
max: 09:15 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.37; Saros 32)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 1 minute, just 37% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
9 Dec, 1638 BC
max: 03:27 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
