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.

9 May, 0320 AD
max: 00:01 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.13; Saros 94)
|
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 45 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
|
|
20 May, 0338 AD
max: 07:06 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.27; Saros 94)
|
This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 27 minutes, just 27% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).
|
|
30 May, 0356 AD
max: 14:09 UT

|
21 Jun, 0392 AD
max: 04:21 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.71; Saros 94)
