Lunar Eclipses, 1880–1861 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).
19 Jun, 1880 BC
max: 20:21 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.82; Saros -10)
At maximum eclipse, 82% 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 48 minutes overall. 		   
19 Jul, 1880 BC
max: 03:51 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.21; Saros 28)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours exactly, just 21% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
13 Dec, 1880 BC
max: 14:21 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.67; Saros -5)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 2 hours and 56 minutes, with 67% of the Moon in darkness at maximum. 		   
9 Jun, 1879 BC
max: 09:34 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.17; Saros 0)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 1 hour and 2 minutes. The Moon was 17% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 28 minutes in total. 		   
2 Dec, 1879 BC
max: 22:52 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.69; Saros 5)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 38 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 36 minutes in total. 		   
29 May, 1878 BC
max: 15:48 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.07; Saros 10)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 43 minutes and 18 seconds. The Moon was 7% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 32 minutes in total.
