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. 0.95; Saros 86)
|
At maximum eclipse, 95% 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 16 minutes overall.
|
|
11 Sep, 0341 AD
max: 21:03 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.20; Saros 91)
|
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 20% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 38 minutes.
|
|
7 Feb, 0342 AD
max: 08:40 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.90; Saros 58)
|
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 90% 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 32 minutes.
|
|
3 Aug, 0342 AD
max: 04:16 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.08; Saros 63)
|
A tiny bite out of the Moon may have been visible at maximum, though just 8% of the Moon was shadowed in a partial eclipse which lasted for 59 minutes and 30 seconds. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse.
|
|
27 Jan, 0343 AD
max: 08:09 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.09; Saros 68)
|
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 46 minutes and 42 seconds. The Moon was 9% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 34 minutes in total.
|
|
23 Jul, 0343 AD
max: 20:03 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.37; Saros 73)
|
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 23 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 37% 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 29 minutes in total.
|
|
16 Jan, 0344 AD
max: 12:20 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.26; Saros 78)
|

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 32 minutes in total.
|
|
12 Jul, 0344 AD

|
|
4 Jan, 0345 AD
max: 23:38 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.06; Saros 88)
|
A tiny bite out of the Moon may have been visible at maximum, though just 6% of the Moon was shadowed in a partial eclipse which lasted for 53 minutes and 30 seconds. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse.

max: 19:02 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.07; Saros 55)

|
|
1 Jul, 0345 AD
max: 09:55 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse

(umbral mag. 1.08; Saros 70)
|

|
11 May, 0347 AD
max: 05:53 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.78; Saros 75)
|
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 40 minutes in total.

(penum. mag. 1.09; Saros 90)
|
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.
