Lunar Eclipses, 0960–0941 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).
22 Jan, 0960 BC
max: 00:26 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.44; Saros 28)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 34 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 44% 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 50 minutes in total.
   
17 Jul, 0960 BC
max: 20:08 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.53; Saros 33)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 31 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 53% 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 28 minutes in total.
   
10 Jan, 0959 BC
max: 23:52 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.91; Saros 38)
The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 22 minutes. With 91% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event.
   
7 Jul, 0959 BC
max: 11:58 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.85; Saros 43)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 3 hours and 2 minutes, with 85% of the Moon in darkness at maximum.
   
31 Dec, 0959 BC
max: 04:01 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.76; Saros 48)
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 57 minutes.
   
28 May, 0958 BC
max: 09:52 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.35; Saros 15)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 55 minutes, just 35% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
   
26 Jun, 0958 BC
max: 22:28 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.36; Saros 53)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 51 minutes, just 36% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
21 Nov, 0958 BC
max: 04:09 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.15; Saros 20)
At maximum eclipse, a small bite out of the Moon should have been visible. The eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 23 minutes, with just 15% of the Moon in shadow at maximum.
   
16 May, 0957 BC

9 Nov, 0957 BC
max: 19:46 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.35; Saros 30)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 19 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 35% 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 24 minutes in total.
   
5 May, 0956 BC
max: 13:14 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.59; Saros 35)
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 48 minutes in total.
   
30 Oct, 0956 BC
max: 08:29 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.09; Saros 40)

24 Apr, 0955 BC
max: 21:58 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.23; Saros 45)

max: 20:22 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.13; Saros 14)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 13% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 36 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.

max: 03:52 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
