2 Mar, 0600 BC
max: 07:10 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.49; Saros 23)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 59 minutes, just 49% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
   
31 Mar, 0600 BC
max: 14:59 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.52; Saros 61)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 3 minutes, just 52% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
