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. 1.04; Saros 110)
|
In a rare total penumbral eclipse, the entire Moon was partially shaded by the Earth (though none of it was in complete shadow), and the shading across the Moon should have been quite visible at maximum eclipse. The penumbral phase lasted for 4 hours and 48 minutes in all, though for most of it, the eclipse was extremely difficult or impossible to see.

27 Oct, 1901 AD
max: 15:15 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.22; Saros 115)
|
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 22% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 39 minutes.
|
|
22 Apr, 1902 AD
max: 18:52 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.33; Saros 120)
|
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 25 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 33% 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 45 minutes in total.

Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.63; 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.

The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 39 minutes in total.
