During the 23rd century CE1, Earth will experience 254 lunar eclipses as follows:

                             All Eclipses =  254  = 100.0%
 
                            Penumbral (N) =   96  =  37.8%
                              Partial (P) =   97  =  38.2%
                                Total (T) =   61  =  24.0%
Eclipses in which some portion of the Moon passes into Earth 's umbral shadow are classified as umbral eclipses . All total and partial lunar eclipses are umbral eclipses. Statistics for umbral eclipses during the century are as follows:
                             Umbral (P&T) =  158  =  62.2%
 
                            Central2 (T±) =   50  =  19.7%
                          Non-Central (T) =   11  =   4.3%

There are two to five lunar eclipses in each calendar year. 
The distribution of eclipses each year during this century are as follows: 
                           Number of Years with 2 Eclipses: 67
                           Number of Years with 3 Eclipses: 13
                           Number of Years with 4 Eclipses: 19
                           Number of Years with 5 Eclipses:  1  ( 2262)
                 Two eclipses in same month:    2208 May 01  &   2208 May 31
                 Two eclipses in same month:    2219 Apr 01  &   2219 Apr 30
                 Two eclipses in same month:    2284 Apr 01  &   2284 Apr 30
                 Two eclipses in same month:    2295 Mar 02  &   2295 Mar 31
During any given century, old Saros series end while new ones begin. The year and Saros number of these events are as follows:
     5 Saros Series' begin (Year/Saros):   2219/154  2248/160  2259/161  2288/157  2288/162 
     3 Saros Series' end   (Year/Saros):   2233/114  2280/115  2291/116 

The longest and shortest lunar eclipses of the century and other eclipse extrema are listed below.

     Longest  Total  Lunar Eclipse:    2264 May 12    Duration = 01h46m49s
    Shortest  Total  Lunar Eclipse:    2202 Sep 03    Duration = 00h22m57s
     Longest Partial Lunar Eclipse:    2231 Aug 13    Duration = 03h27m38s
    Shortest Partial Lunar Eclipse:    2288 Jul 14    Duration = 00h56m01s
     Largest  Total  Lunar Eclipse:    2264 Nov 04    Umbra Magnitude = 1.8747
    Smallest  Total  Lunar Eclipse:    2202 Sep 03    Umbra Magnitude = 1.0223
     Largest Partial Lunar Eclipse:    2225 Jun 21    Umbra Magnitude = 0.9565
    Smallest Partial Lunar Eclipse:    2205 Jul 02    Umbra Magnitude = 0.0659
   Largest Penumbral Lunar Eclipse:    2222 Aug 23     Pen. Magnitude = 1.0779
  Smallest Penumbral Lunar Eclipse:    2219 Apr 30     Pen. Magnitude = 0.0003

Total penumbral eclipses are lunar eclipses in which the entire Moon passes through the penumbra but misses the umbral shadow. Total penumbral eclipses (and magnitudes) for the century are:

           Total Penumbral Eclipse:    2222 Aug 23     Pen. Magnitude = 1.0779

Description of Lunar Eclipse Catalog

Local circumstances at greatest eclipse3 for every event during the century are presented in the following catalog. The calendar date and Universal Time of the instant of greatest eclipse are found in the first two columns. The eclipse type is given (T=Total, P=Partial, or N=Penumbral) along with the Saros series. Gamma is the distance of the Moon's center from the shadow axis of Earth at greatest eclipse (in Earth radii). The penumbral and umbral magnitudes of the eclipse are defined as the fractions of the Moon's diameter obscured by each shadow at greatest eclipse. The semi-durations of the partial and total phases of the eclipse are given to the nearest minute. Finally, the Greenwich Sidereal Time at 00:00 U.T., along with the Moon's Geocentric Right Ascension and Declination at greatest eclipse complete each record. For a detailed key and additional information about the catalog, see: Key to Catalog of Lunar Eclipses.

For any eclipse in the catalog, the start and end times of the partial eclipse phases can be calculated by respectively subtracting and adding the semi-duration of the partial phase (S.D. Par) to the instant of greatest eclipse. Similarly, the start and end times of the total eclipse can be calculated by either subtracting or adding the semi-duration of the total phase (S.D. Tot) to the instant of greatest eclipse. For a detailed example, see Contact - Key to Lunar Eclipse Catalogs.

To determine whether an eclipse is visible from a specific geographic location, it is simply a matter of calculating the Moon's altitude and azimuth during each phase of the eclipse. The calculations can be performed on any pocket calculator having trigonometric functions (SIN, COS, TAN). Armed with the latitude and longitude of the location, the lunar eclipse catalog provides all the additional information needed to make the calculations. For the equations and an example of how to calculate the Moon's altitude for a specific location, see Altitude - Key to Lunar Eclipse Catalogs.

Footnotes

1The terms BCE and CE are abbreviations for "Before Common Era" and "Common Era," respectively. They are the secular equivalents to the BC and AD dating conventions. (See: Year Dating Conventions )

2Central lunar eclipses are eclipses in which some portion of the Moon passes the central axis of Earth's umbral shadow. All penumbral and partial lunar eclipses are non-central eclipses since the Moon misses the shadow axis. However, total eclipses may be either non-central (frequently) or central (occasionally). Central total eclipses are longer and usually darker than non-central total eclipses.

3Greatest eclipse is defined as the instant when the Moon passes closest to the axis of Earth's shadow. The instant of greatest eclipse corresponds to the maximum phase of the eclipse.

Calendar Dates

The Julian calendar is used for all dates up to 1582 Oct 04. After that date, the Gregorian calendar is used. Due to the Gregorian Calendar reform, the day after 1582 Oct 04 (Julian calendar) is 1582 Oct 15 (Gregorian calendar). Note that Great Britian did not adopt the Gregorian calendar until 1752. For more information, see Calendars.

The Julian calendar does not include the year 0, so the year 1 BCE is followed by the year 1 CE. This is awkward for arithmetic calculations. In this catalog, dates are counted using the astronomical numbering system which recognizes the year 0. Historians should note the numerical difference of one year between astronomical dates and BCE dates. Thus, the year 0 corresponds to 1 BCE, and the year -100 corresponds to 101 BCE, etc.. (See: Year Dating Conventions )

There is some historical uncertainty as to which years from 43 BCE to 8 CE were counted as leap years. For the purposes of this catalog, we will assume that all Julian years divisible by 4 will be counted as leap years.

Predictions

Eclipse predictions presented here are based on j=2 ephemerides for the Sun (Newcomb, 1895) and Moon (Brown, 1919, and Eckert, Jones and Clark, 1954). A revised value used for the Moon's secular acceleration is n-dot = -26 arc-sec/cy*cy, as deduced by Morrison and Ward (1975) from 250 years of Mercury transit observations.

The largest uncertainty in the eclipse predictions is caused by fluctuations in Earth's rotation due primarily to tidal friction of the Moon. The resultant drift in apparent clock time is expressed as delta-T. The value for delta-T was determined as follows:

1) pre-1600: delta T was calculated from empirical fits to historical records derived by Stephenson (1997)
2) 1600-present: delta T was obtained from published observations
3) future: delta-T was extrapolated from current values and a model of tidal effects
