Lunar Eclipses, 0020–0001 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).
9 Jan, 0020 BC
max: 03:37 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.61; Saros 53)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 2 hours and 47 minutes, with 61% of the Moon in darkness at maximum. 		   
5 Jul, 0020 BC
max: 22:15 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.97; Saros 58)
The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 20 minutes. With 97% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event. 		   
29 Dec, 0020 BC
max: 14:26 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.77; Saros 63)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 39 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. 		   
25 Jun, 0019 BC
max: 02:08 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.28; Saros 68)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 20 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 28% 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 45 minutes in total.
