27 Jun, 1992 BC
max: 20:40 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.83; Saros -12)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 83% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth (none of it was in total shadow), which caused a gentle shadow gradient across its disc at maximum; the eclipse as a whole lasted 4 hours and 21 minutes. 		   
9 Jul, 1974 BC
max: 03:23 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.70; Saros -12)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 70% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth (none of it was in total shadow), which caused a gentle shadow gradient across its disc at maximum; the eclipse as a whole lasted 4 hours and 3 minutes. 		   
19 Jul, 1956 BC
max: 10:10 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.57; Saros -12)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 43 minutes, just 57% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow). 		   
30 Jul, 1938 BC
max: 17:08 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.46; Saros -12)
