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: 01:39 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.00; Saros 75)
|
The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 19 minutes. With 100% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event.
|
|
20 Aug, 0221 AD
max: 16:40 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.92; Saros 80)
|
The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 17 minutes. With 92% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event.

15 Jan, 0222 AD
max: 03:22 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.08; Saros 47)
|
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 8% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 16 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
|
|
13 Feb, 0222 AD
max: 13:30 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.76; Saros 85)
|
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 76% 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 41 minutes.
|
9 Aug, 0222 AD
max: 19:26 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.56; Saros 90)

|
25 Dec, 0223 AD
max: 07:57 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.49; Saros 67)
|
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 32 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 49% 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 36 minutes in total.
|
|
18 Jun, 0224 AD
max: 15:09 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.83; Saros 72)
|
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 42 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.
