Five Millennium Catalog of Lunar Eclipses

0001 to 0100 ( 1 CE to 100 CE )

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: 0001 to 0100

During the 1st century CE[1], Earth experienced 251 lunar eclipses. The following table shows the number of eclipses of each type over this period.

Lunar Eclipses: 0001 - 0100
Eclipse Type Symbol Number Percent
All Eclipses - 251100.0%
PenumbralN 93 37.1%
PartialP 101 40.2%
TotalT 57 22.7%

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

The statistical distribution of these classes during the 1st century CE appears in the following table.

Total Eclipses
Classification Number Percent
All 57100.0%
Central 50 87.7%
Non-Central 7 12.3%

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: 65
                           Number of Years with 3 Eclipses: 20
                           Number of Years with 4 Eclipses: 14
                           Number of Years with 5 Lunar Eclipses:  1  (   74)

                 Two lunar eclipses in same month:    0019 Dec 01  &   0019 Dec 30
                 Two lunar eclipses in same month:    0074 Jan 02  &   0074 Jan 31

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


     2 Saros Series' begin (Year/Saros):     38/ 88    67/ 89 
     2 Saros Series' end   (Year/Saros):     30/ 41    81/ 49 

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

              Smallest Partial Lunar Eclipse:    0001 Jun 24    Umbra Magnitude = 0.0567

             Largest Penumbral Lunar Eclipse:    0096 Apr 26     Pen. Magnitude = 1.0262
            Smallest Penumbral Lunar Eclipse:    0030 May 06     Pen. Magnitude = 0.0122

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 93 penumbral eclipses of which 1 ( 1.1%) are total penumbral eclipses:


               1.  Total Penumbral Eclipse:    0096 Apr 26     Pen. Magnitude = 1.0262

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.

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.
