Lunar Eclipses, 0580–0561 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).
19 Feb, 0580 BC
max: 14:47 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.68; Saros 43)
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 48 minutes in total. 		   
14 Aug, 0580 BC
max: 20:53 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.81; Saros 48)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 39 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 33 minutes in total. 		   
8 Feb, 0579 BC
max: 16:23 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.32; Saros 53)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 32% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 13 minutes. 		   
4 Aug, 0579 BC
max: 13:36 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.64; Saros 58)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 2 hours and 39 minutes, with 64% of the Moon in darkness at maximum. 		   
29 Dec, 0579 BC
max: 23:50 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.24; Saros 25)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 24 minutes, just 24% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow). 		   
28 Jan, 0578 BC
max: 16:17 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.16; Saros 63)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 16% of the Moon's disc for 2 hours and 2 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
25 Jun, 0578 BC
max: 18:49 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.67; Saros 30)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 67% 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 42 minutes. 		   
25 Jul, 0578 BC
max: 04:43 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.21; Saros 68)

19 Dec, 0578 BC
max: 08:40 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse

14 Jun, 0577 BC
max: 00:42 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.99; Saros 40)
The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 27 minutes. With 99% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event. 		   
7 Dec, 0577 BC
max: 23:03 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.

The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 31 minutes in total. 		   
3 Jun, 0576 BC
max: 01:33 UT

max: 04:27 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.94; Saros 60)
At maximum eclipse, 94% 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 24 minutes overall. 		   
18 Oct, 0575 BC
max: 11:22 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.17; Saros 27)
