Lunar Eclipses, 1680–1661 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).
31 Mar, 1680 BC
max: 17:31 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.42; Saros 5)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 25 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 42% 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 27 minutes in total. 		   
24 Sep, 1680 BC
max: 21:16 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.39; Saros 10)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 30 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 39% 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 49 minutes in total. 		   
21 Mar, 1679 BC
max: 10:29 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.01; Saros 15)
The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for just 16 minutes and 42 seconds. With the Moon just 1% 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 8 minutes in total. 		   
13 Sep, 1679 BC
max: 21:15 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.96; Saros 20)
The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 24 minutes. With 96% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event. 		   
9 Feb, 1678 BC
max: 14:40 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.19; Saros -13)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 19% of the Moon's disc for 2 hours and 4 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see. 		   
11 Mar, 1678 BC
max: 01:45 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.58; Saros 25)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 22 minutes, just 58% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
4 Aug, 1678 BC
max: 16:23 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.04; Saros -8)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 4% of the Moon's disc for 53 minutes and 42 seconds, which was essentially impossible to see. 		   
3 Sep, 1678 BC
max: 03:22 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.76; Saros 30)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 76% 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 53 minutes.
29 Jan, 1677 BC
max: 19:49 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.36; Saros -3)
