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. 0.04; Saros 85)

Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.10; Saros 85)

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.96; Saros 85)
|
The Moon approached within 4% of the Earth's umbral shadow at maximum eclipse; 96% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth, with the overall eclipse lasting 4 hours and 18 minutes. While less dramatic than a partial eclipse (as no part of the Moon was in complete shadow), a shading across the Moon should have been readily visible to observers.

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.82; Saros 85)
|
This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 82% 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 3 minutes.

max: 06:45 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.18; Saros 85)
|
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 18% of the Moon's disc for 2 hours and 3 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.

Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.05; Saros 85)
|
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 9 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
