This catalog has a page for every lunar eclipse from 2000 BC to 3000 AD, 12,064 in all, shown in groups of 20 years at a time. 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, 1461–1480 AD

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.

The interactive map is currently not available.

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 Jun, 1461 AD
max: 20:40 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.69; Saros 111)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 45 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 54 minutes in total. 		   
17 Dec, 1461 AD
max: 14:56 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.20; Saros 116)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 5 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 20% 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 22 minutes in total. 		   
12 Jun, 1462 AD
max: 01:54 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.59; Saros 121)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 59% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 44 minutes. 		   
7 Dec, 1462 AD
max: 00:34 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.88; Saros 126)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 88% 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 17 minutes. 		   
3 May, 1463 AD
max: 06:55 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.76; Saros 93)
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. 		   
1 Jun, 1463 AD
max: 14:19 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.28; Saros 131)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 20 minutes, just 28% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
27 Oct, 1463 AD
max: 08:01 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.69; Saros 98)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 69% 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 5 minutes. 		   
21 Apr, 1464 AD
max: 23:56 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.12; Saros 103)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 50 minutes and 48 seconds. The Moon was 12% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 15 minutes in total. 		   
15 Oct, 1464 AD
max: 08:46 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.93; Saros 108)
The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 20 minutes. With 93% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event. 		   
11 Apr, 1465 AD
max: 14:20 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.25; Saros 113)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 12 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 25% 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. 		   
4 Oct, 1465 AD
max: 16:20 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.40; Saros 118)

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 33 minutes in total. 		   
31 Mar, 1466 AD
max: 22:10 UT
