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, 0441–0460 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).
22 Apr, 0441 AD
max: 08:02 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.68; Saros 77)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 45 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 55 minutes in total. 		   
16 Oct, 0441 AD
max: 05:47 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.68; Saros 82)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 36 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 30 minutes in total. 		   
11 Apr, 0442 AD
max: 08:36 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.32; Saros 87)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 32% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 12 minutes. 		   
5 Oct, 0442 AD
max: 20:23 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.36; Saros 92)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 36% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 8 minutes. 		   
2 Mar, 0443 AD
max: 03:03 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.68; Saros 59)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 68% 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 37 minutes. 		   
31 Mar, 0443 AD
max: 14:09 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.09; Saros 97)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 9% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 25 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
26 Aug, 0443 AD
max: 14:21 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.57; Saros 64)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 40 minutes, just 57% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow). 		   
19 Feb, 0444 AD
max: 17:41 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse

A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 33 minutes and 30 seconds. The Moon was 5% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 10 minutes in total. 		   
14 Aug, 0444 AD
max: 14:46 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.81; Saros 74)

8 Feb, 0445 AD
max: 09:50 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.43; Saros 79)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 25 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 43% 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 27 minutes in total. 		   
3 Aug, 0445 AD
max: 16:58 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.46; Saros 84)

max: 02:12 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.14; Saros 94)
