This catalog has a page for every lunar eclipse from 2000 BC to 3000 AD, 12,064 in all, shown in groups of 20 years at a time. You can go to any eclipse by selecting the milennium, century and 20-year period from the navigation tabs above; then click on an eclipse's date in the list below to to go its page.

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, 1860–1841 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 Jun, 1860 BC
max: 22:21 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.23; Saros 10)
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.
   
2 Dec, 1860 BC
max: 22:02 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.49; Saros 15)
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 23 minutes.
   
28 May, 1859 BC
max: 23:09 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse

max: 01:31 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.43; Saros -13)

22 Nov, 1859 BC
max: 13:31 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.26; Saros 25)
