Lunar Eclipses, 0700–0681 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).
26 Jan, 0700 BC
max: 22:43 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.90; Saros 32)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 3 hours and 6 minutes, with 90% of the Moon in darkness at maximum. 		   
23 Jul, 0700 BC
max: 09:50 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.87; Saros 37)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 3 hours and 19 minutes, with 87% of the Moon in darkness at maximum. 		   
16 Jan, 0699 BC
max: 13:27 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.55; Saros 42)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 31 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 55% 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 28 minutes in total. 		   
12 Jul, 0699 BC
max: 10:19 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.40; Saros 47)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 31 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 40% 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 49 minutes in total.

max: 13:17 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.06; Saros 57)
A tiny bite out of the Moon may have been visible at maximum, though just 6% of the Moon was shadowed in a partial eclipse which lasted for 57 minutes exactly. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse.

max: 02:04 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.55; Saros 24)
