Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.94; Saros -9)
|
The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 22 minutes. With 94% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event.

Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.54; Saros -9)
|

9 May, 1887 BC
max: 05:35 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.06; Saros -9)
|
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 1 hour and 2 minutes. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse.

19 May, 1869 BC
max: 12:03 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.96; Saros -9)
|
At maximum eclipse, 96% 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 37 minutes overall.

30 May, 1851 BC
max: 18:29 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.80; Saros -9)
|
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 80% 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 17 minutes.

10 Jun, 1833 BC
max: 00:56 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.64; Saros -9)
|
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 64% 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 55 minutes.

21 Jun, 1815 BC
max: 07:26 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.49; Saros -9)
|
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).

1 Jul, 1797 BC
max: 14:02 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.35; Saros -9)
|
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 59 minutes, just 35% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).

12 Jul, 1779 BC
max: 20:43 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.22; Saros -9)
|
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 23 minutes, just 22% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).

|
23 Jul, 1761 BC
max: 03:31 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.10; Saros -9)
|
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 10% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 37 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
