The following chart shows the position where the Moon
is directly overhead at the maximum times of the
total (in blue) and
partial (in red) lunar eclipses (penumbral eclipses are
omitted). Each eclipse will be visible approximately
from the half of the Earth centred on that point. Note
that we only have mapping data for
eclipses from year 1 AD, so any eclipses prior to that
date will be missing. Use the
zoom controls on the left to zoom in and out; hover over
a marker to see the area of visibility and summary
information on that eclipse.

11 Jul, 1843 AD
max: 16:49 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.02; Saros 146)
|
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 2% of the Moon's disc for 43 minutes and 18 seconds, which was essentially impossible to see.
|
|
21 Jul, 1861 AD
max: 23:50 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.17; Saros 146)
|
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 17% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 57 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
|
|
2 Aug, 1879 AD
max: 06:57 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.31; Saros 146)
|
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 35 minutes, just 31% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
|
|

|
24 Aug, 1915 AD
max: 21:26 UT

|
|
4 Sep, 1933 AD
max: 04:51 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.70; Saros 146)
|
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 70% 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 41 minutes.

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.80; Saros 146)

|
|
7 Oct, 1987 AD
max: 04:01 UT

The Moon approached within 1% of the Earth's umbral shadow at maximum eclipse; 99% 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.
