This catalog has a page for every lunar eclipse from 2000 BC to 3000 AD, 12,064 in all, shown in groups of 20 years at a time. You can go to any eclipse by selecting the milennium, century and 20-year period from the navigation tabs above; then click on an eclipse's date in the list below to to go its page.

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, 0080–0061 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).
11 Apr, 0080 BC
max: 01:25 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.60; Saros 69)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 60% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 46 minutes.
   
5 Oct, 0080 BC
max: 18:08 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.39; Saros 74)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 39% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 19 minutes.
   
2 Mar, 0079 BC
max: 04:30 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.62; Saros 41)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 62% 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 20 minutes.
   
31 Mar, 0079 BC
max: 13:09 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.32; Saros 79)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 31 minutes, just 32% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
26 Aug, 0079 BC
max: 03:40 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.29; Saros 46)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 44 minutes, just 29% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
   
24 Sep, 0079 BC
max: 21:00 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.09; Saros 84)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 9% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 30 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
19 Feb, 0078 BC
max: 20:55 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.92; Saros 51)
The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 3 minutes. With 92% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event.
   
15 Aug, 0078 BC
max: 04:55 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.60; Saros 56)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 60% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 50 minutes.
   
9 Feb, 0077 BC
max: 10:54 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.51; Saros 61)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 32 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 51% 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 36 minutes in total.
   
3 Aug, 0077 BC
max: 12:50 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.67; Saros 66)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 39 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 39 minutes in total.
   
28 Jan, 0076 BC
max: 18:23 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.09; Saros 71)
A tiny bite out of the Moon may have been visible at maximum, though just 9% of the Moon was shadowed in a partial eclipse which lasted for 1 hour and 12 minutes. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse.
