Lunar Eclipses in Saros Series -4

This page lists all the lunar eclipses in saros series -4 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 3.

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 Apr, 1634 BC
max: 02:01 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.12; Saros -4)

13 Apr, 1616 BC
max: 09:34 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.95; Saros -4)
The Moon approached within 1% 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 2 minutes. 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.
   
24 Apr, 1598 BC
max: 17:03 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.82; Saros -4)
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.
   
5 May, 1580 BC
max: 00:27 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.68; Saros -4)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 68% 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 31 minutes.
   
16 May, 1562 BC
max: 07:50 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.54; Saros -4)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 12 minutes, just 54% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
   
26 May, 1544 BC
max: 15:09 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.40; Saros -4)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 48 minutes, just 40% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
   
6 Jun, 1526 BC
max: 22:29 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.26; Saros -4)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 18 minutes, just 26% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
   
17 Jun, 1508 BC
max: 05:50 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.13; Saros -4)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 13% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 37 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
