23 Feb, 1370 BC
max: 20:30 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.03; Saros 40)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 3% of the Moon's disc for 47 minutes and 30 seconds, which was essentially impossible to see.
   
6 Mar, 1352 BC
max: 04:35 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse

In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 11% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 27 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
   
17 Mar, 1334 BC
max: 12:30 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.10; Saros 40)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 10% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 38 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
