Saros Series of Lunar Eclipses

Lunar Eclipses in Saros Series -19

This page lists all the lunar eclipses in saros series -19 which are in our database. Note that the beginning of this series is not included in our database, so the list below only covers the latter part of the series.

This series is partnered with solar Saros series -12.

16 Mar, 1996 BC max: 06:06 UT Penumbral Lunar Eclipse (penum. mag. 0.65; Saros -19)	This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 65% 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 3 hours and 37 minutes.
27 Mar, 1978 BC max: 13:30 UT Penumbral Lunar Eclipse (penum. mag. 0.53; Saros -19)	This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 19 minutes, just 53% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
6 Apr, 1960 BC max: 20:45 UT Penumbral Lunar Eclipse (penum. mag. 0.40; Saros -19)	This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 55 minutes, just 40% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
18 Apr, 1942 BC max: 03:54 UT Penumbral Lunar Eclipse (penum. mag. 0.26; Saros -19)	This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 23 minutes, just 26% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
28 Apr, 1924 BC max: 10:55 UT Penumbral Lunar Eclipse (penum. mag. 0.11; Saros -19)	In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 11% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 34 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
