7 Feb, 0560 BC
max: 23:57 UT

6 Jul, 0560 BC
max: 01:53 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.53; Saros 30)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 22 minutes, just 53% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).

max: 12:17 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.30; Saros 68)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 31 minutes, just 30% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).

max: 17:23 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse

19 Dec, 0559 BC
max: 07:59 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.87; Saros 45)
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 31 minutes in total.
