List Of Central Lunar Eclipses
A central lunar eclipse is a lunar eclipse in which part of the Moon passes through the center of Earth's shadow. This type of lunar eclipse typically appears darker than other lunar eclipses. It is relatively rare. Central lunar eclipses are always total lunar eclipses and have large umbral eclipse magnitude, long duration and small value of gamma. List of central lunar eclipses 1901–1950 There were 19 central lunar eclipses in this period. 1951–2000 There were 14 central lunar eclipses in this period. 2001–2050 There are 10 central lunar eclipses in this period. 2051–2100 There will be 15 central lunar eclipses in this period. 2101-2150 See also * List of lunar eclipses ** List of 20th-century lunar eclipses ** List of 21st-century lunar eclipses There will be 230 lunar eclipses in the 21st century (2001–2100): 87 penumbral, 58 partial and 85 total. Eclipses are listed in sets by lunar years, repeating every 12 months for each node. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Total Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
A total penumbral lunar eclipse is a lunar eclipse that occurs when the Moon becomes completely immersed in the penumbral cone of the Earth without touching the umbra. The path for the Moon to pass within the penumbra and outside the umbra is very narrow. It can only happen on the Earth's northern or southern penumbral edges. In addition, the size of the penumbra is sometimes too small where the Moon enters it to contain the Moon. The width of the Earth's penumbra is determined by the Sun's angular diameter at the time of the eclipse, and the Moon's angular diameter is larger than the Sun over part of its elliptical orbit, depending on whether the eclipse occurs at the nearest (perigee) or farthest point (apogee) in its orbit around the Earth. The majority of the time, the size of the Moon and the size of the Earth's penumbra where the Moon crosses it mean that most eclipses will not be total penumbral in nature. Frequency Total penumbral eclipses constitute a relatively small ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lunar Eclipses By Century
This article gives statistics for lunar eclipses grouped by century. Detailed information about tetrads, timing, and other facts can be found at the linked references. General statistics In the 5,000 years from 2000 BC to 3000 AD, there will be a total of 12,064 lunar eclipses: *4,378 penumbral eclipses, of which 4,237 were partial and 141 were total *4,207 partial eclipses *3,479 total eclipses, of which 2,074 were central and 1,405 were non-central The longest partial lunar eclipse during this period will occur on 8 February 2669, lasting 3:30:02. The longest total eclipse occurred on 31 May 318, with a duration of 01:46:36.

Historically Significant Lunar Eclipses
Historically significant lunar eclipses are eclipses of the Moon that are mentioned in historical accounts in connection with a significant event. Lunar eclipses are somewhat rare events, although not as rare as solar eclipses, because unlike solar eclipses they can be viewed from anywhere on the dark side of the Earth. Throughout history lunar eclipses have been held to be responsible for lost battles, and have helped make possible extraordinary escapes. 29 January 1137 BC The first mention of a lunar eclipse was found in the Chinese book Zhou-Shu, a book of the Zhou Dynasty. The book was discovered in 280 AD, in a tomb of a king or noblemen. The eclipse mentioned in this book took place many centuries before that time. Professor S.M. Russell believes that the eclipse described in the book may refer to the event that happened on 29 January 1137 BC (-1136). 9 October 425 BC When eclipses were not well understood, they were sometimes associated with unnatural forces.
