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.

26 Jan, 1861 AD
max: 16:53 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.50; Saros 141)
|
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 9 minutes, just 50% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
|
|
22 Jun, 1861 AD
max: 14:35 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.74; Saros 108)
|
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 74% 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 43 minutes.
|
|
21 Jul, 1861 AD
max: 23:50 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.17; Saros 146)
|
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 17% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 57 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
|
17 Dec, 1861 AD

|
|
12 Jun, 1862 AD

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 49 minutes in total.
|
|
1 Jun, 1863 AD
max: 23:26 UT

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 20 minutes in total.
