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, 1720–1701 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).
22 May, 1720 BC
max: 14:49 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.02; Saros 3)
The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for 22 minutes and 18 seconds. With the Moon just 2% 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 21 minutes in total. 		   
15 Nov, 1720 BC
max: 01:43 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.63; Saros 8)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 36 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 34 minutes in total. 		   
11 May, 1719 BC
max: 20:27 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.23; Saros 13)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 13 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 23% 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 41 minutes in total. 		   
4 Nov, 1719 BC
max: 16:17 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.87; Saros 18)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 2 hours and 58 minutes, with 87% of the Moon in darkness at maximum. 		   
30 Apr, 1718 BC
max: 21:15 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.88; Saros 23)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 88% 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 29 minutes. 		   
25 Sep, 1718 BC
max: 19:59 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.09; Saros -10)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 9% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 23 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see. 		   
25 Oct, 1718 BC
max: 07:41 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.62; Saros 28)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 62% 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 23 minutes.
20 Mar, 1717 BC
max: 13:00 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.18; Saros -5)

14 Sep, 1717 BC
max: 04:25 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.23; Saros 0)
