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.

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.16; Saros 54)
|
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 1 hour and 58 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
|
|
5 Jun, 0929 BC
max: 05:38 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.31; Saros 54)
|
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 45 minutes, just 31% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
|
|
16 Jun, 0911 BC
max: 12:18 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.47; Saros 54)
|

|
|
26 Jun, 0893 BC
max: 19:02 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.62; Saros 54)

This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 62% 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 44 minutes.
|
|
8 Jul, 0875 BC
max: 01:54 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.76; Saros 54)

|
|
29 Jul, 0839 BC
max: 16:01 UT
