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, 1900–1881 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).
3 Feb, 1900 BC
max: 12:32 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.51; Saros 3)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 32 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 51% 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 34 minutes in total. 		   
29 Jul, 1900 BC
max: 13:55 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.73; Saros 8)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 41 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 42 minutes in total. 		   
23 Jan, 1899 BC
max: 21:47 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.08; Saros 13)
A tiny bite out of the Moon may have been visible at maximum, though just 8% of the Moon was shadowed in a partial eclipse which lasted for 1 hour and 7 minutes. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse. 		   
19 Jul, 1899 BC
max: 03:13 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.43; Saros 18)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 43% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 15 minutes. 		   
14 Dec, 1899 BC
max: 04:54 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.46; Saros -15)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 24 minutes, just 46% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow). 		   
9 Jun, 1898 BC
max: 12:51 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.95; Saros -10)
The Moon approached within 0% of the Earth's umbral shadow at maximum eclipse; 95% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth, with the overall eclipse lasting 4 hours and 1 minute. While less dramatic than a partial eclipse (as no part of the Moon was in complete shadow), a shading across the Moon should have been readily visible to observers. 		   
8 Jul, 1898 BC
max: 20:02 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.11; Saros 28)
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.
3 Dec, 1898 BC
max: 06:00 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 57 minutes, with 67% of the Moon in darkness at maximum. 		   
29 May, 1897 BC
max: 02:30 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.32; Saros 0)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 20 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 32% 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 33 minutes in total. 		   
21 Nov, 1897 BC
max: 14:04 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 37 minutes in total. 		   
18 May, 1896 BC
max: 09:15 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.92; Saros 10)
The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 22 minutes. With 92% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event.
