25 Feb, 1826 BC
max: 05:13 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.08; Saros 23)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 8% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 26 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
   
7 Mar, 1808 BC
max: 12:11 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.18; Saros 23)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 18% of the Moon's disc for 2 hours and 12 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
   
18 Mar, 1790 BC
max: 19:01 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.71; Saros 23)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 71% 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 31 minutes.

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.19; Saros 23)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 19% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 56 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
