Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.14; Saros -7)
|
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 52 minutes and 36 seconds. The Moon was 14% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 14 minutes in total.

Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.12; Saros -7)
|
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 49 minutes exactly. The Moon was 12% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 13 minutes in total.

Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.09; Saros -7)
|
A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 43 minutes and 12 seconds. The Moon was 9% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 11 minutes in total.

max: 04:49 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.05; Saros -7)
|
The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for 32 minutes and 6 seconds. With the Moon just 5% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, the Moon may have been quite bright, but even so, this should have been worth seeing. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 9 minutes in total.

max: 13:14 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.99; Saros -7)
|
The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 6 minutes. With 99% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event.

|
29 Mar, 1829 BC
max: 05:11 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.53; Saros -7)
|
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 53% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 28 minutes.
|

9 Apr, 1811 BC
max: 12:50 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.41; Saros -7)
|
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 41% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 13 minutes.

19 Apr, 1793 BC
max: 20:22 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.28; Saros -7)

|
1 May, 1775 BC
max: 03:51 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.14; Saros -7)
|
At maximum eclipse, a small bite out of the Moon should have been visible. The eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 21 minutes, with just 14% of the Moon in shadow at maximum.
|
|
11 May, 1757 BC
max: 11:16 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.95; Saros -7)
|
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.

|
22 May, 1739 BC
max: 18:41 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.81; Saros -7)
|
At maximum eclipse, 81% 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 47 minutes overall.

2 Jun, 1721 BC
max: 02:04 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.67; Saros -7)
|
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 67% 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 30 minutes.

13 Jun, 1703 BC
max: 09:29 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.54; Saros -7)
|
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 10 minutes, just 54% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.40; Saros -7)
|
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).

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.28; Saros -7)
|
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 22 minutes, just 28% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).

15 Jul, 1649 BC
max: 07:59 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.16; Saros -7)
|
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 16% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 50 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
|
|
26 Jul, 1631 BC
max: 15:40 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.06; Saros -7)
|
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 6% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 8 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
