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, 0281–0300 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).
21 May, 0281 AD
max: 00:44 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.78; Saros 64)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 3 hours and 7 minutes, with 78% of the Moon in darkness at maximum. 		   
13 Nov, 0281 AD
max: 11:01 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.19; Saros 69)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 1 hour and 1 minute. The Moon was 19% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 19 minutes in total. 		   
10 May, 0282 AD
max: 04:03 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.48; Saros 74)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 37 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 48% 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 51 minutes in total. 		   
3 Nov, 0282 AD
max: 02:32 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.32; Saros 79)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 16 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 32% 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 21 minutes in total. 		   
29 Apr, 0283 AD
max: 04:39 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.10; Saros 84)
At maximum eclipse, a small bite out of the Moon should have been visible. The eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 17 minutes, with just 10% of the Moon in shadow at maximum. 		   
23 Oct, 0283 AD
max: 17:15 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.02; Saros 89)
A tiny bite out of the Moon may have been visible at maximum, though just 2% of the Moon was shadowed in a partial eclipse which lasted for 32 minutes and 12 seconds. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse. 		   
18 Mar, 0284 AD
max: 23:03 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.93; Saros 56)
At maximum eclipse, 93% 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 8 minutes overall. 		   
12 Sep, 0284 AD
max: 11:16 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.86; Saros 61)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 86% 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 4 hours and 22 minutes. 		   
8 Mar, 0285 AD
max: 13:35 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.33; Saros 66)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 17 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 22 minutes in total. 		   
1 Sep, 0285 AD
max: 11:38 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.07; Saros 71)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 44 minutes exactly. The Moon was 7% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 35 minutes in total. 		   
26 Feb, 0286 AD
max: 06:04 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.14; Saros 76)
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 53 minutes and 30 seconds. The Moon was 14% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 15 minutes in total. 		   
21 Aug, 0286 AD
max: 13:09 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 37 minutes in total. 		   
15 Feb, 0287 AD
max: 19:45 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.76; Saros 86)

12 Jul, 0287 AD
max: 12:39 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.02; Saros 53)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 2% of the Moon's disc for 39 minutes and 24 seconds, which was essentially impossible to see. 		   
10 Aug, 0287 AD
max: 21:34 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.93; Saros 91)
At maximum eclipse, 93% 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 8 minutes overall.
6 Jan, 0288 AD
max: 09:13 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 1.01; Saros 58)
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 45 minutes in all, though for most of it, the eclipse was extremely difficult or impossible to see. 		   
1 Jul, 0288 AD
max: 05:19 UT

25 Dec, 0288 AD
max: 08:16 UT

20 Jun, 0289 AD
max: 21:54 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.77; Saros 73)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 40 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 36 minutes in total. 		   
14 Dec, 0289 AD
max: 11:06 UT

max: 14:33 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.05; Saros 93)
