This catalog has a page for every lunar eclipse from 2000 BC to 3000 AD, 12,064 in all, shown in groups of 20 years at a time. You can go to any eclipse by selecting the milennium, century and 20-year period from the navigation tabs above; then click on an eclipse's date in the list below to to go its page.

You can see the solar eclipses or the combined eclipse catalog by clicking "Solar Eclipses" or "All Eclipses" in the top-right tabs.

Lunar Eclipses, 0961–0980 AD

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.

The interactive map is currently not available.

Note that eclipse dates are specified relative to UT. You have not selected a timezone for eclipse timings, so all times are shown in UT (essentially GMT).
3 May, 0961 AD
max: 09:07 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.83; Saros 85)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 3 hours and 3 minutes, with 83% of the Moon in darkness at maximum. 		   
26 Oct, 0961 AD
max: 13:12 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.85; Saros 90)
The Moon was strikingly shadowed in this deep partial eclipse which lasted 3 hours and 5 minutes, with 85% of the Moon in darkness at maximum. 		   
22 Apr, 0962 AD
max: 17:47 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.46; Saros 95)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 34 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 46% 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 45 minutes in total. 		   
16 Oct, 0962 AD
max: 02:30 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.57; Saros 100)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 33 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 57% 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 29 minutes in total. 		   
11 Apr, 0963 AD

(umbral mag. 0.04; Saros 105)
A tiny bite out of the Moon may have been visible at maximum, though just 4% of the Moon was shadowed in a partial eclipse which lasted for 50 minutes and 12 seconds. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse. 		   
5 Oct, 0963 AD
max: 18:36 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.32; Saros 110)

1 Mar, 0964 AD
max: 05:51 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.72; Saros 77)

max: 02:00 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.08; Saros 92)

8 Feb, 0966 AD
max: 06:34 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.34; Saros 97)

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 22 minutes in total. 		   
4 Aug, 0966 AD

Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.07; Saros 107)
A tiny bite out of the Moon may have been visible at maximum, though just 7% of the Moon was shadowed in a partial eclipse which lasted for 56 minutes and 30 seconds. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse.

max: 05:31 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.90; Saros 112)
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 4 hours and 19 minutes overall. 		   
19 Dec, 0967 AD
max: 19:03 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.80; Saros 79)

max: 01:16 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.79; Saros 94)
