The following chart shows the position where the Moon
is directly overhead at the maximum times of the
total (in blue) and
partial (in red) lunar eclipses (penumbral eclipses are
omitted). Each eclipse will be visible approximately
from the half of the Earth centred on that point. Use the
zoom controls on the left to zoom in and out; hover over
a marker to see the area of visibility and summary
information on that eclipse.

max: 23:35 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.18; Saros 107)
|
At maximum eclipse, a small bite out of the Moon should have been visible. The eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 33 minutes, with just 18% of the Moon in shadow at maximum.
|
|
25 Aug, 1021 AD
max: 03:06 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.24; Saros 112)
|
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 24% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 52 minutes.
|
|
20 Jan, 1022 AD
max: 19:48 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.74; Saros 79)
|
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 74% 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.
|
|
16 Jul, 1022 AD
max: 06:31 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.04; Saros 84)
|
A tiny bite out of the Moon may have been visible at maximum, though just 4% of the Moon was shadowed in a partial eclipse which lasted for 42 minutes and 12 seconds. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse.
