Lunar Eclipses, 0440–0421 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).
2 Feb, 0440 BC
max: 01:45 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.43; Saros 36)
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 20 minutes. 		   
28 Jul, 0440 BC
max: 03:52 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.27; Saros 41)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 27% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 55 minutes. 		   
22 Jan, 0439 BC
max: 09:46 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.68; Saros 46)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 42 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 49 minutes in total. 		   
17 Jul, 0439 BC
max: 18:01 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.71; Saros 51)
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 32 minutes in total. 		   
11 Jan, 0438 BC
max: 10:45 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.65; Saros 56)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 3 hours and 1 minute, with 65% of the Moon in darkness at maximum. 		   
7 Jul, 0438 BC
max: 11:05 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.72; Saros 61)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 2 hours and 47 minutes, with 72% of the Moon in darkness at maximum. 		   
31 Dec, 0438 BC
max: 10:25 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.52; Saros 66)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 32 minutes, just 52% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow). 		   
27 May, 0437 BC
max: 16:52 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.65; Saros 33)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 65% 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 40 minutes. 		   
26 Jun, 0437 BC
max: 02:24 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.26; Saros 71)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 19 minutes, just 26% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
20 Nov, 0437 BC
max: 02:36 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.20; Saros 38)
At maximum eclipse, a small bite out of the Moon should have been visible. The eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 37 minutes, with just 20% of the Moon in shadow at maximum. 		   
16 May, 0436 BC
max: 22:41 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.97; Saros 43)
The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 27 minutes. With 97% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event. 		   
9 Nov, 0436 BC
max: 17:08 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. 		   
5 May, 0435 BC
max: 23:28 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.28; Saros 53)

The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for 22 minutes and 6 seconds. With the Moon just 2% 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 10 minutes in total. 		   
25 Apr, 0434 BC
max: 02:23 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.96; Saros 63)
At maximum eclipse, 96% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth, which caused a slight shadow gradient across its disc; this subtle effect may have been visible to careful observers. No part of the Moon was in complete shadow. The eclipse lasted 4 hours and 27 minutes overall. 		   
19 Oct, 0434 BC
max: 20:26 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse

max: 07:41 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 1.07; Saros 40)

The penumbral phase lasted for 4 hours and 52 minutes in all, though for most of it, the eclipse was extremely difficult or impossible to see. 		   
4 Mar, 0432 BC
max: 19:57 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.60; Saros 45)

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 29 minutes in total. 		   
28 Aug, 0432 BC
max: 07:42 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.31; Saros 50)
