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, 0800–0781 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).
19 Jun, 0800 BC
max: 17:15 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.99; Saros 46)
The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 13 minutes. With 99% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event.
   
13 Dec, 0800 BC
max: 06:28 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.10; Saros 51)
At maximum eclipse, a small bite out of the Moon should have been visible. The eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 14 minutes, with just 10% of the Moon in shadow at maximum.
   
10 May, 0799 BC
max: 14:27 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.20; Saros 18)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 20% of the Moon's disc for 2 hours and 13 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
   
9 Jun, 0799 BC
max: 03:16 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.49; Saros 56)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 20 minutes, just 49% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
3 Nov, 0799 BC
max: 07:15 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.76; Saros 23)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 76% 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 38 minutes.
   
29 Apr, 0798 BC
max: 15:24 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.48; Saros 28)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 48% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 40 minutes.
   
23 Oct, 0798 BC
max: 22:52 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.98; 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 98% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event.
   
17 Apr, 0797 BC
max: 17:51 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.75; 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.
   
12 Oct, 0797 BC
max: 11:09 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.46; Saros 43)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 30 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 46% 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 37 minutes in total.
   
7 Apr, 0796 BC
max: 03:05 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.40; Saros 48)

1 Oct, 0796 BC
max: 16:33 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.08; Saros 53)
A tiny bite out of the Moon may have been visible at maximum, though just 8% of the Moon was shadowed in a partial eclipse which lasted for 1 hour and 6 minutes. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse.
   
26 Feb, 0795 BC
max: 10:20 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.87; Saros 20)

27 Mar, 0795 BC
max: 18:14 UT
