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, 0040–0021 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 Feb, 0040 BC
max: 09:53 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.20; Saros 71)
At maximum eclipse, a small bite out of the Moon should have been visible. The eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 44 minutes, with just 20% of the Moon in shadow at maximum. 		   
14 Aug, 0040 BC
max: 18:58 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.57; Saros 76)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 57% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 32 minutes. 		   
9 Jan, 0039 BC
max: 16:04 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.34; Saros 43)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 57 minutes, just 34% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow). 		   
6 Jul, 0039 BC
max: 03:49 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.78; Saros 48)

(penum. mag. 0.23; Saros 86)
