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: 01:18 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.19; Saros 73)

|
10 Oct, 0181 AD
max: 09:13 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.11; Saros 78)
|
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 50 minutes and 42 seconds. The Moon was 11% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 30 minutes in total.

6 Apr, 0182 AD
max: 15:13 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.73; Saros 83)
|
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 73% 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 48 minutes.
|
|
29 Sep, 0182 AD
