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: 00:24 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.54; Saros 105)
|
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 37 minutes, just 54% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
|
|
31 May, 0801 AD
max: 12:48 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.67; Saros 72)
|
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 67% 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 25 minutes.
|
|
29 Jun, 0801 AD
max: 19:23 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.43; Saros 110)
|
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 48 minutes, just 43% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).

24 Nov, 0801 AD
max: 04:56 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.93; Saros 77)
|
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 93% 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 31 minutes.
|
|
21 May, 0802 AD
max: 04:12 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.02; Saros 82)
|
The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for just 19 minutes and 54 seconds. With the Moon just 2% of its diameter into 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 15 minutes in total.
|
|
13 Nov, 0802 AD
max: 10:40 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.23; Saros 87)
|
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 9 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 23% 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.
|
|
10 May, 0803 AD
max: 13:34 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.26; Saros 92)

max: 15:59 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.89; Saros 102)
|
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 89% 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 30 minutes.
|
|
22 Oct, 0804 AD
max: 15:09 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse

|
The Moon approached within 1% of the Earth's umbral shadow at maximum eclipse; 96% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth, with the overall eclipse lasting 4 hours exactly. While less dramatic than a partial eclipse (as no part of the Moon was in complete shadow), a shading across the Moon should have been readily visible to observers.
|
|
19 Mar, 0805 AD
max: 02:35 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 1.00; Saros 74)
