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. 0.08; Saros 70)
|
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 19 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.

7 Aug, 0430 BC
max: 01:55 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.70; Saros 70)

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.09; Saros 70)

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 32 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
