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, 2961–2980 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, 2961 AD
max: 13:47 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.29; Saros 146)
The Earth's shadow on the moon will be clearly visible in this eclipse, with 29% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse will last for 1 hour and 58 minutes. 		   
13 Nov, 2961 AD
max: 16:26 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.21; Saros 151)
The Earth's shadow on the moon will be clearly visible in this eclipse, with 21% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse will last for 1 hour and 41 minutes. 		   
10 May, 2962 AD
max: 21:17 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.61; Saros 156)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 41 minutes will plunge the full Moon into deep darkness, as it passes right through the centre of the Earth's umbral shadow. While the visual effect of a total eclipse is variable, the Moon may be stained a deep orange or red colour at maximum eclipse. This will be a great spectacle for everyone who sees it. The partial eclipse will last for 3 hours and 50 minutes in total. 		   
3 Nov, 2962 AD
max: 06:38 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.57; Saros 161)
The Moon will be plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 33 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which will see the Moon 57% 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 be stained a deep red colour. The partial eclipse will last for 3 hours and 29 minutes in total. 		   
29 Apr, 2963 AD
max: 22:18 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.68; Saros 166)
The Moon will be strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse lasting 3 hours and 4 minutes, with 68% of the Moon in darkness at maximum. 		   
23 Oct, 2963 AD

(umbral mag. 0.90; Saros 171)
The Moon will be almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, lasting 3 hours and 2 minutes. With 90% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this will be quite a memorable event. 		   
19 Mar, 2964 AD
max: 08:26 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.06; Saros 138)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clips the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This will cause a microscopic darkening of just 6% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 12 minutes, which will be essentially impossible to see.

max: 01:27 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.26; Saros 143)

max: 18:52 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.44; Saros 148)

2 Sep, 2965 AD
max: 05:40 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.51; Saros 153)
The Earth's shadow on the moon will be clearly visible in this eclipse, with 51% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse will last for 2 hours and 43 minutes. 		   
26 Feb, 2966 AD
max: 10:03 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.73; Saros 158)

max: 01:26 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse

5 Feb, 2968 AD
max: 12:24 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
