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. 0.91; Saros 53)
|
At maximum eclipse, 91% 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 4 hours and 5 minutes overall.

|
22 Oct, 0161 AD
max: 00:26 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.04; Saros 58)
|
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 47 minutes and 42 seconds. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse.

17 Apr, 0162 AD
max: 00:38 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.35; Saros 63)
|
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 20 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.
