Lunar Eclipses, 0480–0461 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).
24 Mar, 0480 BC
max: 23:13 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.07; Saros 34)
A tiny bite out of the Moon may have been visible at maximum, though just 7% of the Moon was shadowed in a partial eclipse which lasted for 1 hour and 6 minutes. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse. 		   
18 Sep, 0480 BC
max: 05:46 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.30; Saros 39)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 30% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 56 minutes. 		   
14 Mar, 0479 BC
max: 02:17 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.50; Saros 44)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 35 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 50% 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 44 minutes in total. 		   
7 Sep, 0479 BC
max: 17:18 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.55; Saros 49)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 36 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 55% 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 42 minutes in total. 		   
3 Mar, 0478 BC
max: 12:22 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.84; Saros 54)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 3 hours and 2 minutes, with 84% of the Moon in darkness at maximum. 		   
27 Aug, 0478 BC
max: 21:47 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.74; Saros 59)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 3 hours and 8 minutes, with 74% of the Moon in darkness at maximum. 		   
22 Jan, 0477 BC
max: 18:27 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.31; Saros 26)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 26 minutes, just 31% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow). 		   
21 Feb, 0477 BC
max: 03:41 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.58; Saros 64)

max: 06:29 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.04; Saros 31)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 4% of the Moon's disc for 58 minutes and 30 seconds, which was essentially impossible to see. 		   
15 Aug, 0477 BC
max: 21:47 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse

max: 17:28 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.74; Saros 46)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 43 minutes plunged the full Moon into deep darkness, as it passed right through the centre of the Earth's umbral shadow.

max: 02:48 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.95; Saros 33)
At maximum eclipse, 95% 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 15 minutes overall.
