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, 0520–0501 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).
15 May, 0520 BC
max: 04:43 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.00; Saros 32)
While technically a partial eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the Earth's umbral shadow, which may have been very difficult to observe in practice; though a shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse. The partial eclipse lasted for 4 minutes and 18 seconds. 		   
13 Jun, 0520 BC
max: 12:08 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.08; Saros 70)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 8% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 19 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
8 Nov, 0520 BC
max: 12:51 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.20; Saros 37)
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 48 minutes. 		   
4 May, 0519 BC
max: 21:56 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.36; Saros 42)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 20 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 36% 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 24 minutes in total. 		   
28 Oct, 0519 BC
max: 12:27 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.47; Saros 47)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 35 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 47% 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 47 minutes in total. 		   
24 Apr, 0518 BC
max: 13:27 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.01; Saros 52)
The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for just 14 minutes and 30 seconds. With the Moon just barely inside 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 14 minutes in total. 		   
17 Oct, 0518 BC
max: 18:06 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.90; Saros 57)

14 Mar, 0517 BC
max: 08:59 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.07; Saros 24)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 7% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 20 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see. 		   
12 Apr, 0517 BC
max: 23:01 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.53; Saros 62)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 27 minutes, just 53% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
6 Sep, 0517 BC
max: 21:08 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.17; Saros 29)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 17% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 48 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see. 		   
6 Oct, 0517 BC
max: 06:44 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.70; Saros 67)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 70% 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 33 minutes.
