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. 0.14; Saros 72)
|
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 14% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 56 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
|
|
27 Jun, 0372 BC
max: 05:22 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.30; Saros 72)
|
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 45 minutes, just 30% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
