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.

23 Jun, 0921 AD
max: 02:26 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.18; Saros 83)
|
At maximum eclipse, a small bite out of the Moon should have been visible. The eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 42 minutes, with just 18% of the Moon in shadow at maximum.
|
|
17 Dec, 0921 AD
max: 18:53 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.19; Saros 88)
|
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 1 hour and 3 minutes. The Moon was 19% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 20 minutes in total.
|
|
12 Jun, 0922 AD
max: 06:24 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.66; Saros 93)
|
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 42 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 46 minutes in total.
