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, 0900–0881 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).
17 Apr, 0900 BC
max: 04:53 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.76; Saros 17)
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 37 minutes.
   
16 May, 0900 BC
max: 11:31 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.33; Saros 55)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 29 minutes, just 33% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
10 Oct, 0900 BC
max: 19:41 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.68; Saros 22)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 68% 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 exactly.
   
6 Apr, 0899 BC
max: 20:50 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.11; Saros 27)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 48 minutes and 42 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 18 minutes in total.
   
30 Sep, 0899 BC
max: 00:27 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.99; Saros 32)
The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 18 minutes. With 99% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event.
   
27 Mar, 0898 BC
max: 07:22 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.19; Saros 37)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 1 hour and 6 minutes. The Moon was 19% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 33 minutes in total.
   
19 Sep, 0898 BC
max: 12:29 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.39; Saros 42)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 23 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 39% 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.

max: 18:55 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.94; Saros 19)

30 Jul, 0896 BC
max: 09:16 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
