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, 0180–0161 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).
6 Feb, 0180 BC
max: 21:54 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.66; Saros 40)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 66% 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 58 minutes.
   
3 Aug, 0180 BC
max: 06:22 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.84; Saros 45)
At maximum eclipse, 84% 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 52 minutes overall.
   
1 Sep, 0180 BC
max: 15:09 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.11; Saros 83)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 11% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 27 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
27 Jan, 0179 BC
max: 01:07 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.96; Saros 50)
The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 18 minutes. With 96% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event.
   
23 Jul, 0179 BC
max: 17:45 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.15; Saros 55)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 59 minutes and 36 seconds. The Moon was 15% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 30 minutes in total.
   
16 Jan, 0178 BC
max: 11:28 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.41; Saros 60)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 25 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 41% 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 29 minutes in total.
   
12 Jul, 0178 BC
max: 22:01 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.11; Saros 65)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 52 minutes and 12 seconds. The Moon was 11% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 36 minutes in total.
   
6 Jan, 0177 BC
max: 02:35 UT
