Lunar Eclipses in Saros Series 53

This page lists all the lunar eclipses in saros series 53. The series contains 72 eclipses, occurring over 1280 years.

This series is partnered with solar Saros series 60.

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).
5 Jun, 0994 BC
max: 08:41 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.09; Saros 53)
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 26 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
   
15 Jun, 0976 BC
max: 15:33 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.22; Saros 53)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 17 minutes, just 22% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
   
26 Jun, 0958 BC
max: 22:28 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.36; Saros 53)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 51 minutes, just 36% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
   
7 Jul, 0940 BC
max: 05:24 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.49; Saros 53)

18 Jul, 0922 BC
max: 12:25 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.61; Saros 53)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 61% 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 40 minutes.

max: 17:27 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
