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, 1940–1921 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).
26 Mar, 1940 BC
max: 10:40 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.73; Saros 1)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 46 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 56 minutes in total. 		   
19 Sep, 1940 BC
max: 16:08 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.71; Saros 6)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 37 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 33 minutes in total. 		   
15 Mar, 1939 BC
max: 13:08 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.38; Saros 11)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 38% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 20 minutes. 		   
9 Sep, 1939 BC
max: 04:20 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.34; Saros 16)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 34% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 8 minutes. 		   
3 Feb, 1938 BC
max: 12:47 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.73; Saros -17)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 73% 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 37 minutes. 		   
4 Mar, 1938 BC
max: 22:27 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.14; Saros 21)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 14% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 43 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
30 Jul, 1938 BC
max: 17:08 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.46; Saros -12)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 23 minutes, just 46% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow). 		   
24 Jan, 1937 BC
max: 04:49 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.05; Saros -7)
The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for 32 minutes and 6 seconds. With the Moon just 5% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, the Moon may have been quite bright, but even so, this should have been worth seeing. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 9 minutes in total. 		   
18 Jul, 1937 BC
max: 17:27 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.74; Saros -2)

12 Jan, 1936 BC
max: 19:56 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.42; Saros 3)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 26 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 42% 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 30 minutes in total. 		   
7 Jul, 1936 BC
max: 23:01 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse

27 Jun, 1935 BC
max: 11:48 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.20; Saros 18)
