10 Jan, 0419 BC
max: 18:28 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.55; Saros 66)

7 Jun, 0419 BC
max: 23:50 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.50; Saros 33)

7 Jul, 0419 BC
max: 09:41 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.38; Saros 71)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 47 minutes, just 38% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).

max: 11:25 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.20; Saros 38)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 20% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 38 minutes.

21 Nov, 0418 BC
max: 02:06 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.48; Saros 48)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 28 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 48% 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 26 minutes in total.
   
16 May, 0417 BC
max: 05:54 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.44; Saros 53)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 34 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 44% of its diameter inside the Earth's umbral shadow.

Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.08; Saros 63)
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.

(penum. mag. 0.69; Saros 68)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 69% 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 47 minutes.

8 Sep, 0414 BC
max: 15:09 UT

max: 20:54 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.08; Saros 60)

23 Jan, 0412 BC
max: 13:24 UT
