You can see the solar eclipses or the combined eclipse catalog by clicking "Solar Eclipses" or "All Eclipses" in the top-right tabs.

Lunar Eclipses, 0740–0721 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).
20 Mar, 0740 BC
max: 01:41 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.90; Saros 30)
The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 7 minutes. With 90% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event. 		   
12 Sep, 0740 BC
max: 03:35 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.67; Saros 35)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 2 hours and 52 minutes, with 67% of the Moon in darkness at maximum. 		   
9 Mar, 0739 BC
max: 11:19 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.42; Saros 40)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 30 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 42% 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 42 minutes in total. 		   
1 Sep, 0739 BC
max: 16:26 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.69; Saros 45)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 37 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 32 minutes in total. 		   
26 Feb, 0738 BC
max: 13:43 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.01; Saros 50)
A tiny bite out of the Moon may have been visible at maximum, though just 1% of the Moon was shadowed in a partial eclipse which lasted for 28 minutes and 48 seconds. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse. 		   
22 Aug, 0738 BC
max: 08:49 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.42; Saros 55)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 42% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 14 minutes. 		   
16 Jan, 0737 BC
max: 21:32 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.59; Saros 22)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 40 minutes, just 59% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow). 		   
12 Jul, 0737 BC
max: 13:55 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.84; Saros 27)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 84% 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 4 hours and 3 minutes. 		   
11 Aug, 0737 BC
max: 00:02 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.03; Saros 65)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 3% of the Moon's disc for 44 minutes and 48 seconds, which was essentially impossible to see.
5 Jan, 0736 BC
max: 05:48 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.94; Saros 32)
The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 10 minutes. With 94% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event. 		   
1 Jul, 0736 BC
max: 20:17 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.15; Saros 37)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 1 hour and 1 minute. The Moon was 15% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 36 minutes in total. 		   
25 Dec, 0736 BC
max: 19:55 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.51; Saros 42)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 29 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 51% of its diameter inside the Earth's umbral shadow.

20 Jun, 0735 BC
max: 21:14 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.10; Saros 47)
