Lunar Eclipses in Saros Series 79

This page lists all the lunar eclipses in saros series 79. The series contains 73 eclipses, occurring over 1298 years.

This series is partnered with solar Saros series 86.

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).
27 Feb, 0133 BC
max: 13:38 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.05; Saros 79)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 5% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 1 minute, which was essentially impossible to see.
   
9 Mar, 0115 BC
max: 21:35 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.13; Saros 79)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 13% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 37 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
   
20 Mar, 0097 BC
max: 05:26 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.22; Saros 79)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 6 minutes, just 22% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
   
31 Mar, 0079 BC
max: 13:09 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.32; Saros 79)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 31 minutes, just 32% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
   
10 Apr, 0061 BC
max: 20:47 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.43; Saros 79)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 52 minutes, just 43% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
   
22 Apr, 0043 BC
max: 04:20 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.55; Saros 79)
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 12 minutes, just 55% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
   
2 May, 0025 BC
max: 11:49 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.68; Saros 79)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 68% 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 30 minutes.
   
13 May, 0007 BC
max: 19:15 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.81; Saros 79)

24 May, 0012 AD
max: 02:39 UT

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.74; Saros 79)
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 74% 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 4 hours and 4 minutes.

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.23; Saros 79)

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.11; Saros 79)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 11% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 40 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
