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, 0461–0480 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).
12 Mar, 0461 AD
max: 10:58 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.61; Saros 59)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 61% 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 26 minutes. 		   
10 Apr, 0461 AD
max: 21:30 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.20; Saros 97)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 7 minutes, just 20% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
5 Sep, 0461 AD
max: 21:36 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.47; Saros 64)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 23 minutes, just 47% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow). 		   
5 Oct, 0461 AD
max: 13:18 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.00; Saros 102)
In this virtually non-existant eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow; although the eclipse lasted 17 minutes and 18 seconds, it was impossible to see in practice.
2 Mar, 0462 AD
max: 01:59 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.99; Saros 69)
The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 6 minutes. With 99% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event. 		   
25 Aug, 0462 AD
max: 21:44 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.69; Saros 74)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 3 hours and 5 minutes, with 69% of the Moon in darkness at maximum. 		   
19 Feb, 0463 AD
max: 18:15 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.48; Saros 79)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 29 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 28 minutes in total. 		   
15 Aug, 0463 AD
max: 00:07 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.58; Saros 84)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 39 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 46 minutes in total. 		   
9 Feb, 0464 AD
max: 07:04 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.09; Saros 89)
A tiny bite out of the Moon may have been visible at maximum, though just 9% of the Moon was shadowed in a partial eclipse which lasted for 1 hour and 8 minutes. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse.
