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: 15:40 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.04; Saros 84)
|
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 4% of the Moon's disc for 51 minutes and 18 seconds, which was essentially impossible to see.
|
|
30 Mar, 1401 AD
max: 00:21 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.90; Saros 122)
|
At maximum eclipse, 90% 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 52 minutes overall.
|
22 Sep, 1401 AD
max: 14:17 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.86; Saros 127)
|
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 86% 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 25 minutes.
