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, 0561–0580 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).
15 May, 0561 AD
max: 00:52 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.00; Saros 88)
The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 7 minutes. With 100% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event. 		   
8 Nov, 0561 AD
max: 00:14 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.49; Saros 93)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 49% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 40 minutes. 		   
5 Apr, 0562 AD
max: 09:26 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.37; Saros 60)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 44 minutes, just 37% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow). 		   
4 May, 0562 AD
max: 17:51 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.59; Saros 98)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 17 minutes, just 59% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
28 Sep, 0562 AD
max: 11:46 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.18; Saros 65)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 18% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour exactly, which was essentially impossible to see. 		   
28 Oct, 0562 AD
max: 02:00 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.37; Saros 103)
