Five Millennium Catalog of Lunar Eclipses

-0199 to -0100 ( 200 BCE to 101 BCE )

Introduction

Eclipses of the Moon can only occur during the Full Moon phase. It is then possible for the Moon to pass through Earth’s penumbral or umbral shadows thereby producing an eclipse. There are three types of lunar eclipses:

  1. Penumbral - Moon traverses Earth’s penumbral shadow (Moon misses Earth’s umbral shadow)
  2. Partial - Moon traverses Earth’s penumbral and umbral shadows (Moon does not pass completely into Earth’s umbra)
  3. Total - Moon traverses Earth’s penumbral and umbral shadows (Moon passes completely into Earth’s umbra)

The visual appearance of these eclipse types differs dramatically from each other.


Lunar Eclipses: -0199 to -0100 ( 200 BCE to 101 BCE)

During the 2nd century BCE[1], Earth experienced 240 lunar eclipses. The following table shows the number of eclipses of each type over this period.

Lunar Eclipses: -0199 - -0100
Eclipse Type Symbol Number Percent
All Eclipses - 240100.0%
PenumbralN 85 35.4%
PartialP 86 35.8%
TotalT 69 28.7%

Total eclipses can be further classified as either central or non-central:

The statistical distribution of these classes during the 2nd century BCE appears in the following table.

Total Eclipses
Classification Number Percent
All 69100.0%
Central 48 69.6%
Non-Central 21 30.4%

There are a minimum of two and a maximum of five lunar eclipses in every calendar year. Statistics for the number of eclipses each year during the century are listed below.


                           Number of Years with 2 Eclipses: 71
                           Number of Years with 3 Eclipses: 19
                           Number of Years with 4 Eclipses:  9
                           Number of Years with 5 Lunar Eclipses:  1  ( -103)

                 Two lunar eclipses in same month:   -0165 May 02  &  -0165 May 31

When four consecutive lunar eclipses are all total eclipses, the group is known as a tetrad. The following tetrads occur during this century:


                              1.  Tetrad:   -189 -  -188
                              2.  Tetrad:   -168 -  -167
                              3.  Tetrad:   -149 -  -148

During any given century, old Saros series end while new ones begin. The year and Saros number of these events are as follows:


     4 Saros Series' begin (Year/Saros):   -197/ 83  -190/ 77  -125/ 78  -103/ 85 
     1 Saros Series' end   (Year/Saros):   -111/ 38 

For more information, see Catalog of Lunar Eclipse Saros Series.

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

             Largest Penumbral Lunar Eclipse:   -0186 Jun 22     Pen. Magnitude = 1.0666
            Smallest Penumbral Lunar Eclipse:   -0103 Feb 07     Pen. Magnitude = 0.0019

A total penumbral eclipse in one in which the entire Moon passes through the penumbra but misses the umbral shadow. During the century, there are 85 penumbral eclipses of which 1 ( 1.2%) are total penumbral eclipses:


               1.  Total Penumbral Eclipse:   -0186 Jun 22     Pen. Magnitude = 1.0666

The concise details at greatest eclipse[2] for every lunar eclipse during the century are presented below. Key to Catalog of Lunar Eclipses contains a detailed description and explanation of every item listed in the catalog. The Catalog Number in the first column links to a figure showing the eclipse geometry and geographic visibility map of each phase of an eclipse.

Footnotes

[1] The 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 )

[2] Greatest eclipse is defined as the instant when the Moon passes closest to the axis of Earth’s umbral shadow cone.

Index to Five Millennium Catolog of Lunar Eclipses

Each link below displays a web page containing 100 years of lunar eclipses. The data for each eclipse includes the date and time of greatest eclipse, Saros series, eclipse type, quincena solar eclipse parameter, gamma, eclipse magnitudes, and eclipse phase durations. Every eclipse also has links to digrams of eclipse geometry and world visibility, and Saros series tables.

Calendar

The Gregorian calendar is used for all dates from 1582 Oct 15 onwards. Before that date, the Julian calendar is used. For more information on this topic, see Calendar Dates. The Julian calendar does not include the year 0. Thus the year 1 BCE is followed by the year 1 CE (See: BCE/CE Dating Conventions ). This is awkward for arithmetic calculations. Years in this catalog are numbered astronomically and include the year 0. Historians should note there is a difference of one year between astronomical dates and BCE dates. Thus, the astronomical year 0 corresponds to 1 BCE, and astronomical year -1 corresponds to 2 BCE, etc..


Predictions

Lunar eclipse predictions must take into account the enlargement of Earth's shadows. In this Catalog, Earth's penumbral and umbral shadow sizes have been calculated using Danjon's enlargement method.

The coordinates of the Sun used in the predictions are based on the VSOP87 theory [Bretagnon and Francou, 1988]. The Moon's coordinates are based on the ELP-2000/82 theory [Chapront-Touze and Chapront, 1983]. For more information, see: Solar and Lunar Ephemerides. The revised value used for the Moon's secular acceleration is n-dot = -25.858 arc-sec/cy*cy, as deduced from the Apollo lunar laser ranging experiment (Chapront, Chapront-Touze, and Francou, 2002).

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 ΔT and is determined as follows:

  1. pre-1950's: ΔT calculated from empirical fits to historical records derived by Morrison and Stephenson (2004)
  2. 1955-2006: ΔT obtained from published observations
  3. Post-2006: ΔT is extrapolated from current values weighted by the long term trend from tidal effects

A series of polynomial expressions have been derived to simplify the evaluation of ΔT for any time from -1999 to +3000. The uncertainty in ΔT over this period can be estimated from scatter in the measurements.
