Lunar Eclipses, 0880–0861 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).
6 Apr, 0880 BC
max: 14:27 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.32; Saros 37)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 22 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 32% 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 39 minutes in total. 		   
29 Sep, 0880 BC
max: 21:01 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.43; Saros 42)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 26 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 43% 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 27 minutes in total. 		   
26 Mar, 0879 BC
max: 17:24 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.94; Saros 47)
At maximum eclipse, 94% 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 37 minutes overall. 		   
19 Sep, 0879 BC
max: 12:56 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.20; Saros 52)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 20% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 35 minutes. 		   
14 Feb, 0878 BC
max: 02:36 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.87; Saros 19)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 87% 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 19 minutes. 		   
10 Aug, 0878 BC
max: 16:49 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.95; Saros 24)
At maximum eclipse, 95% 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 16 minutes overall. 		   
3 Feb, 0877 BC
max: 10:56 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.26; Saros 29)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 12 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 26% 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 27 minutes in total. 		   
29 Jul, 0877 BC
max: 23:04 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.23; Saros 34)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 13 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 23% 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 40 minutes in total. 		   
23 Jan, 0876 BC
max: 01:11 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.18; Saros 39)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 1 hour exactly. The Moon was 18% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 16 minutes in total. 		   
18 Jul, 0876 BC
max: 23:48 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.04; Saros 44)
The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for 33 minutes and 12 seconds. With the Moon just 4% 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 33 minutes in total. 		   
12 Jan, 0875 BC
max: 17:10 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.91; Saros 49)
At maximum eclipse, 91% 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 3 hours and 56 minutes overall. 		   
8 Jun, 0875 BC
max: 14:09 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.01; Saros 16)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 1% of the Moon's disc for 30 minutes and 24 seconds, which was essentially impossible to see. 		   
8 Jul, 0875 BC
max: 01:54 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.76; Saros 54)
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 4 hours and 4 minutes.
3 Dec, 0875 BC
max: 15:41 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.98; Saros 21)

29 May, 0874 BC
max: 02:41 UT

22 Nov, 0874 BC
max: 18:02 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.11; Saros 31)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 52 minutes and 12 seconds. The Moon was 11% 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. 		   
17 May, 0873 BC
max: 19:31 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.86; Saros 36)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 40 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. 		   
10 Nov, 0873 BC
max: 17:00 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.27; Saros 41)

30 Oct, 0872 BC
max: 20:14 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.07; Saros 51)
A tiny bite out of the Moon may have been visible at maximum, though just 7% of the Moon was shadowed in a partial eclipse which lasted for 1 hour and 2 minutes. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse. 		   
28 Mar, 0871 BC
max: 11:25 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.77; Saros 18)
