Lunar Eclipses in Saros Series 166

This page lists all the lunar eclipses in saros series 166 which are in our database. Note that the end of this series is not included in our database, so the list below only covers the earlier part of the series.

This series is partnered with solar Saros series 173.

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.

The interactive map is currently not available.

Note that eclipse dates are specified relative to UT. You have not selected a timezone for eclipse timings, so all times are shown in UT (essentially GMT).
18 Jul, 2494 AD
max: 19:21 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.01; Saros 166)
In this virtually non-existant eclipse, the Moon barely clips the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow; although the eclipse will last 24 minutes and 36 seconds, it will be impossible to see in practice. 		   
30 Jul, 2512 AD
max: 02:10 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.14; Saros 166)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clips the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This will cause a microscopic darkening of just 14% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 51 minutes, which will be essentially impossible to see. 		   
10 Aug, 2530 AD
max: 09:00 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.28; Saros 166)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse will be essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it will last 2 hours and 33 minutes, just 28% of the Moon's disc will be in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow). 		   
20 Aug, 2548 AD
max: 15:52 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.41; Saros 166)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse will be essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it will last 3 hours and 4 minutes, just 41% of the Moon's disc will be in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow). 		   
31 Aug, 2566 AD
max: 22:46 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.54; Saros 166)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse will be essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it will last 3 hours and 30 minutes, just 54% of the Moon's disc will be in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow). 		   
11 Sep, 2584 AD
max: 05:45 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.66; Saros 166)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may be visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 66% of the Moon's disc will be partially shaded by the Earth (none of it will be in total shadow), which will cause a gentle shadow gradient across its disc at maximum; the eclipse as a whole will last 3 hours and 50 minutes. 		   
23 Sep, 2602 AD
max: 12:49 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.77; Saros 166)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may be visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 77% of the Moon's disc will be partially shaded by the Earth (none of it will be in total shadow), which will cause a gentle shadow gradient across its disc at maximum; the eclipse as a whole will last 4 hours and 7 minutes. 		   
3 Oct, 2620 AD
max: 20:00 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.87; Saros 166)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may be visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 87% of the Moon's disc will be partially shaded by the Earth (none of it will be in total shadow), which will cause a gentle shadow gradient across its disc at maximum; the eclipse as a whole will last 4 hours and 22 minutes. 		   
15 Oct, 2638 AD
max: 03:16 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.97; Saros 166)
At maximum eclipse, 97% of the Moon's disc will be partially shaded by the Earth, which will cause a slight shadow gradient across its disc; this subtle effect may be visible to careful observers. No part of the Moon will be in complete shadow. The eclipse will last 4 hours and 33 minutes overall. 		   
25 Oct, 2656 AD
max: 10:41 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 1.04; Saros 166)
In a rare total penumbral eclipse, the entire Moon will be partially shaded by the Earth (though none of it will be in complete shadow), and the shading across the Moon should be quite visible at maximum eclipse. The penumbral phase will last for 4 hours and 43 minutes in all, though for most of it, the eclipse will be extremely difficult or impossible to see. 		   
5 Nov, 2674 AD
max: 18:13 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.04; Saros 166)
A tiny bite out of the Moon may be visible at maximum, though just 4% of the Moon will be shadowed in a partial eclipse lasting for 46 minutes and 48 seconds. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should be visible at maximum eclipse. 		   
16 Nov, 2692 AD
max: 01:52 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
