9 Jun, 1898 BC
max: 12:51 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.95; Saros -10)
|
The Moon approached within 0% of the Earth's umbral shadow at maximum eclipse; 95% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth, with the overall eclipse lasting 4 hours and 1 minute. 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 Jun, 1880 BC
max: 20:21 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.82; Saros -10)
|
At maximum eclipse, 82% 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 48 minutes overall.
