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.

max: 09:51 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.08; 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 8% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 20 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
|
|
23 Feb, 0761 AD
max: 21:42 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.64; Saros 103)
|
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 64% 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 36 minutes.
|
21 Jul, 0761 AD
max: 21:45 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.09; Saros 70)
|
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 32 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.

20 Aug, 0761 AD
max: 12:04 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.49; Saros 108)

15 Jan, 0762 AD
max: 00:40 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.39; Saros 75)

|
4 Jan, 0763 AD
max: 16:12 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.60; Saros 85)
|
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 34 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 31 minutes in total.

|
29 Apr, 0766 AD
max: 13:33 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.29; Saros 82)
|
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 15 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 29% 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.

Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.00; Saros 92)
|
The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for a very brief 2 minutes and 24 seconds. With the Moon just barely inside the Earth's umbral shadow, the Moon may have been quite bright, but even so, this should have been worth seeing. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 23 minutes in total.
