Lunar Eclipses, 0780–0761 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).
9 May, 0780 BC
max: 21:50 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.33; Saros 28)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 33% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 15 minutes.
   
3 Nov, 0780 BC
max: 07:41 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.97; Saros 33)
The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 7 minutes. With 97% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event.
   
29 Apr, 0779 BC
max: 00:42 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.79; Saros 38)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 44 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 49 minutes in total.
   
23 Oct, 0779 BC
max: 19:35 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.47; Saros 43)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 31 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 47% 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 38 minutes in total.
   
18 Apr, 0778 BC
max: 10:29 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.53; Saros 48)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 53% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 32 minutes.
   
13 Oct, 0778 BC
max: 00:29 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.10; Saros 53)

8 Mar, 0777 BC
max: 18:26 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.79; Saros 20)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 79% 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 41 minutes.
   
7 Apr, 0777 BC
max: 01:59 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.23; Saros 58)

max: 06:35 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.43; Saros 25)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 13 minutes, just 43% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
