Lunar Eclipses, 0680–0661 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).
16 Jan, 0680 BC
max: 13:52 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.31; Saros 52)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 31% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 58 minutes.
   
11 Jul, 0680 BC
max: 20:17 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.20; Saros 57)
At maximum eclipse, a small bite out of the Moon should have been visible. The eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 43 minutes, with just 20% of the Moon in shadow at maximum.
   
7 Dec, 0680 BC
max: 10:28 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.54; Saros 24)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 30 minutes, just 54% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
   
1 Jun, 0679 BC
max: 23:05 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.12; Saros 29)
At maximum eclipse, a small bite out of the Moon should have been visible. The eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 17 minutes, with just 12% of the Moon in shadow at maximum.
