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.

max: 18:26 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.01; Saros 51)

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.75; Saros 51)
|
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 75% 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 42 minutes.

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.09; Saros 51)

In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 9% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 24 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
