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.

Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.01; Saros 76)
|
While technically a partial eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the Earth's umbral shadow, which may have been very difficult to observe in practice; though a shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse. The partial eclipse lasted for 17 minutes and 30 seconds.
|
|
13 Aug, 0881 AD
max: 09:12 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.10; Saros 81)
|
A tiny bite out of the Moon may have been visible at maximum, though just 10% 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.
|
|
7 Feb, 0882 AD
max: 02:33 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.25; Saros 86)
|
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 16 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 25% 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 44 minutes in total.
|
|
3 Aug, 0882 AD
max: 02:08 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.42; Saros 91)
|
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 25 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 42% 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 26 minutes in total.
|
|
27 Jan, 0883 AD
max: 02:26 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.10; Saros 96)
|
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 49 minutes and 48 seconds. The Moon was 10% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 33 minutes in total.
|
|
23 Jul, 0883 AD
max: 17:10 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.94; Saros 101)
|
The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 11 minutes. With 94% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event.
|
|
16 Jan, 0884 AD
max: 08:07 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.92; Saros 106)
|
At maximum eclipse, 92% 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 4 hours and 13 minutes overall.
|
|
12 Jun, 0884 AD
max: 12:50 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.20; Saros 73)

In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 20% of the Moon's disc for 2 hours and 15 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
|
|
12 Jul, 0884 AD
max: 02:11 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse

(umbral mag. 1.21; Saros 88)
|

21 May, 0886 AD
max: 16:44 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.73; Saros 93)
|
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 44 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 48 minutes in total.
