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, 1881–1900 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).
12 Jun, 1881 AD
max: 06:53 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.35; Saros 128)
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 25 minutes in total. 		   
5 Dec, 1881 AD
max: 17:08 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.98; Saros 133)
The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 21 minutes. With 98% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event. 		   
1 Jun, 1882 AD
max: 20:22 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.87; Saros 138)
At maximum eclipse, 87% 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 7 minutes overall. 		   
25 Nov, 1882 AD
max: 01:51 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.80; Saros 143)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 80% 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 52 minutes. 		   
22 Apr, 1883 AD
max: 11:38 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.09; Saros 110)
A tiny bite out of the Moon may have been visible at maximum, though just 9% of the Moon was shadowed in a partial eclipse which lasted for 1 hour and 11 minutes. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse. 		   
16 Oct, 1883 AD
max: 06:54 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.28; Saros 115)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 28% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 50 minutes. 		   
10 Apr, 1884 AD
max: 11:46 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.43; Saros 120)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 33 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 43% 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 48 minutes in total. 		   
4 Oct, 1884 AD
max: 22:02 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.53; Saros 125)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 33 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 53% 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 34 minutes in total. 		   
30 Mar, 1885 AD
max: 16:34 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.88; Saros 130)

24 Sep, 1885 AD
max: 07:48 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.79; Saros 135)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 3 hours and 7 minutes, with 79% of the Moon in darkness at maximum. 		   
18 Feb, 1886 AD
max: 18:29 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.21; Saros 102)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 1 hour exactly, just 21% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow). 		   
20 Mar, 1886 AD
max: 04:24 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.64; Saros 140)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 64% 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 26 minutes.
14 Aug, 1886 AD
max: 18:42 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.05; Saros 107)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 5% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 9 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see. 		   
13 Sep, 1886 AD
max: 10:34 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.44; Saros 145)

28 Jan, 1888 AD
max: 23:20 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.65; Saros 122)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 38 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 39 minutes in total. 		   
23 Jul, 1888 AD
max: 05:44 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.82; Saros 127)

3 Jun, 1890 AD
max: 06:44 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.95; Saros 109)

max: 14:08 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.10; Saros 147)
