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, 0840–0821 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).
13 Feb, 0840 BC
max: 18:03 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.28; Saros 39)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 13 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 28% 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 20 minutes in total. 		   
9 Aug, 0840 BC
max: 13:31 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.28; Saros 44)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 20 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 28% 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 45 minutes in total. 		   
3 Feb, 0839 BC
max: 10:15 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.97; Saros 49)
The Moon approached within 0% of the Earth's umbral shadow at maximum eclipse; 97% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth, with the overall eclipse lasting 4 hours and 4 minutes. While less dramatic than a partial eclipse (as no part of the Moon was in complete shadow), a shading across the Moon should have been readily visible to observers. 		   
29 Jul, 0839 BC
max: 16:01 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 1.01; Saros 54)
In a rare total penumbral eclipse, the entire Moon was partially shaded by the Earth (though none of it was in complete shadow), and the shading across the Moon should have been quite visible at maximum eclipse. The penumbral phase lasted for 4 hours and 33 minutes in all, though for most of it, the eclipse was extremely difficult or impossible to see. 		   
25 Dec, 0839 BC
max: 08:30 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.96; Saros 21)
At maximum eclipse, 96% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth, which caused a slight shadow gradient across its disc; this subtle effect may have been visible to careful observers. No part of the Moon was in complete shadow. The eclipse lasted 4 hours and 27 minutes overall. 		   
19 Jun, 0838 BC
max: 17:29 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.27; Saros 26)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 27% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 50 minutes. 		   
14 Dec, 0838 BC
max: 10:18 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.09; Saros 31)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 48 minutes and 24 seconds. The Moon was 9% 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. 		   
8 Jun, 0837 BC
max: 10:31 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.64; Saros 36)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 36 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 30 minutes in total. 		   
2 Dec, 0837 BC
max: 09:23 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.28; Saros 41)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 19 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 28% 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 43 minutes in total. 		   
29 May, 0836 BC
max: 02:43 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.73; Saros 46)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 2 hours and 52 minutes, with 73% of the Moon in darkness at maximum. 		   
21 Nov, 0836 BC
max: 13:18 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.09; Saros 51)
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 8 minutes. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse. 		   
19 Apr, 0835 BC
max: 01:09 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.50; Saros 18)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 25 minutes, just 50% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow). 		   
18 May, 0835 BC
max: 13:40 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.21; Saros 56)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 14 minutes, just 21% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).

max: 13:33 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.78; Saros 23)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 78% 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 40 minutes. 		   
8 Apr, 0834 BC
max: 02:20 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.78; Saros 28)

max: 05:27 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.02; Saros 33)
The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for 21 minutes and 48 seconds. With the Moon just 2% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, the Moon may have been quite bright, but even so, this should have been worth seeing. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 9 minutes in total.

max: 03:59 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.48; Saros 38)
