11 Apr, 1746 BC
max: 03:33 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.06; Saros -6)
A tiny bite out of the Moon may have been visible at maximum, though just 6% of the Moon was shadowed in a partial eclipse which lasted for 59 minutes exactly. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse.
   
21 Apr, 1728 BC
max: 10:07 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.97; Saros -6)
At maximum eclipse, 97% 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 38 minutes overall.
   
2 May, 1710 BC
max: 16:35 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.81; Saros -6)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 81% 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 19 minutes.
   
12 May, 1692 BC
max: 23:00 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.65; Saros -6)
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 56 minutes.
   
24 May, 1674 BC
max: 05:24 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.49; Saros -6)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 29 minutes, just 49% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
   
3 Jun, 1656 BC
max: 11:49 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.34; Saros -6)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 55 minutes, just 34% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
   
14 Jun, 1638 BC
max: 18:14 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.18; Saros -6)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 18% of the Moon's disc for 2 hours and 10 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
   
25 Jun, 1620 BC
max: 00:44 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.03; Saros -6)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 3% of the Moon's disc for 57 minutes and 18 seconds, which was essentially impossible to see.
