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.

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 1.03; Saros 89)
|
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 45 minutes in all, though for most of it, the eclipse was extremely difficult or impossible to see.

max: 15:25 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.43; Saros 94)

27 Apr, 1222 AD
max: 08:29 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.44; Saros 99)
|
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 31 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 40 minutes in total.

Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.67; Saros 104)

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 45 minutes in total.
