Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.17; Saros 28)
|
At maximum eclipse, a small bite out of the Moon should have been visible. The eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 40 minutes, with just 17% of the Moon in shadow at maximum.

Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.01; Saros 28)
|
A tiny bite out of the Moon may have been visible at maximum, though just 1% of the Moon was shadowed in a partial eclipse which lasted for 29 minutes and 54 seconds. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse.

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.92; Saros 28)
|
At maximum eclipse, 92% 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 33 minutes overall.

max: 23:36 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.77; Saros 28)
|
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 77% 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 13 minutes.

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.63; Saros 28)
|
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 63% 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 51 minutes.

max: 12:51 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.49; Saros 28)
|
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 27 minutes, just 49% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).

max: 19:39 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.37; Saros 28)
|
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours exactly, just 37% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).

max: 02:37 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.26; Saros 28)
|
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 32 minutes, just 26% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).

15 Aug, 0618 BC
max: 09:44 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.16; Saros 28)
|
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 16% of the Moon's disc for 2 hours exactly, which was essentially impossible to see.

25 Aug, 0600 BC
max: 17:02 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.08; Saros 28)
|
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 23 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.

6 Sep, 0582 BC
max: 00:30 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.01; Saros 28)
|
In this virtually non-existant eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow; although the eclipse lasted 22 minutes exactly, it was impossible to see in practice.
