Lunar Eclipses in Saros Series 173

This page lists all the lunar eclipses in saros series 173 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 180.

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).
24 Apr, 2787 AD
max: 13:04 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.07; Saros 173)
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 7% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 20 minutes, which will be essentially impossible to see. 		   
4 May, 2805 AD
max: 20:16 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.17; Saros 173)
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 17% of the Moon's disc for 2 hours and 3 minutes, which will be essentially impossible to see. 		   
16 May, 2823 AD
max: 03:21 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.28; Saros 173)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse will be essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it will last 2 hours and 37 minutes, just 28% of the Moon's disc will be in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow). 		   
26 May, 2841 AD
max: 10:20 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.40; Saros 173)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse will be essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it will last 3 hours and 5 minutes, just 40% of the Moon's disc will be in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow). 		   
6 Jun, 2859 AD
max: 17:14 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.54; Saros 173)
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). 		   
17 Jun, 2877 AD
max: 00:04 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.68; Saros 173)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may be visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 68% 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 52 minutes. 		   
28 Jun, 2895 AD
max: 06:52 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.82; Saros 173)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may be visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 82% 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 11 minutes. 		   
9 Jul, 2913 AD
max: 13:39 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.97; Saros 173)
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 27 minutes overall. 		   
20 Jul, 2931 AD
max: 20:26 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.09; Saros 173)
A tiny bite out of the Moon may be visible at maximum, though just 9% of the Moon will be shadowed in a partial eclipse lasting for 1 hour and 12 minutes. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should be visible at maximum eclipse. 		   
31 Jul, 2949 AD
max: 03:16 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.25; Saros 173)
The Earth's shadow on the moon will be clearly visible in this eclipse, with 25% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse will last for 1 hour and 54 minutes. 		   
11 Aug, 2967 AD
max: 10:08 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.40; Saros 173)
The Earth's shadow on the moon will be clearly visible in this eclipse, with 40% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse will last for 2 hours and 21 minutes. 		   
21 Aug, 2985 AD
max: 17:05 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.54; Saros 173)
The Earth's shadow on the moon will be clearly visible in this eclipse, with 54% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse will last for 2 hours and 40 minutes.
