max: 11:47 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.92; Saros -8)
|
The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 17 minutes. With 92% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event.

16 Mar, 1912 BC
max: 17:43 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.58; Saros -8)
|
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 58% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 44 minutes.

28 Mar, 1894 BC
max: 00:57 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.47; Saros -8)
|
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 47% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 29 minutes.

7 Apr, 1876 BC
max: 08:05 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.35; Saros -8)
|
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 35% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 10 minutes.

18 Apr, 1858 BC
max: 15:11 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.22; Saros -8)
|
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 22% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 46 minutes.

28 Apr, 1840 BC
max: 22:14 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.09; Saros -8)
|
A tiny bite out of the Moon may have been visible at maximum, though just 9% of the Moon was shadowed in a partial eclipse which lasted for 1 hour and 8 minutes. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse.

10 May, 1822 BC
max: 05:19 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.95; Saros -8)
|
The Moon approached within 4% 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 14 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.

20 May, 1804 BC
max: 12:23 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.81; Saros -8)
|
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 3 hours and 57 minutes.

11 Jun, 1768 BC
max: 02:43 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.55; Saros -8)
|
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 19 minutes, just 55% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).

max: 10:01 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.43; Saros -8)
|
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 57 minutes, just 43% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).

2 Jul, 1732 BC
max: 17:24 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.31; Saros -8)
|
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 33 minutes, just 31% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).

14 Jul, 1714 BC
max: 00:56 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.21; Saros -8)
|
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 6 minutes, just 21% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).

24 Jul, 1696 BC
max: 08:35 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.12; Saros -8)
|
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 12% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 35 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.

max: 16:23 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.04; Saros -8)
|
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 4% of the Moon's disc for 53 minutes and 42 seconds, which was essentially impossible to see.
