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.

Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.26; Saros 94)
|
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 10 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 26% 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 19 minutes in total.

22 Sep, 0861 AD
max: 20:24 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.23; Saros 99)
|
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 14 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 23% of its diameter inside the Earth's umbral shadow.

19 Mar, 0862 AD
max: 19:37 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.90; Saros 104)
|
At maximum eclipse, 90% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth, which caused a slight shadow gradient across its disc; this subtle effect may have been visible to careful observers. No part of the Moon was in complete shadow. The eclipse lasted 3 hours and 57 minutes overall.

11 Sep, 0862 AD
max: 23:32 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 1.01; Saros 109)

In a rare total penumbral eclipse, the entire Moon was partially shaded by the Earth (though none of it was in complete shadow), and the shading across the Moon should have been quite visible at maximum eclipse. The penumbral phase lasted for 4 hours and 29 minutes in all, though for most of it, the eclipse was extremely difficult or impossible to see.
