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:
The visual appearance of these eclipse types differs dramatically from each other.
During the 9th century CE[1], Earth experienced 228 lunar eclipses. The following table shows the number of eclipses of each type over this period.
| Lunar Eclipses: 0801 - 0900 | |||
| Eclipse Type | Symbol | Number | Percent |
| All Eclipses | - | 228 | 100.0% |
| Penumbral | N | 79 | 34.6% |
| Partial | P | 60 | 26.3% |
| Total | T | 89 | 39.0% |
Total eclipses can be further classified as either central or non-central:
The statistical distribution of these classes during the 9th century CE appears in the following table.
| Total Eclipses | ||
| Classification | Number | Percent |
| All | 89 | 100.0% |
| Central | 24 | 27.0% |
| Non-Central | 65 | 73.0% |
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: 79
Number of Years with 3 Eclipses: 14
Number of Years with 4 Eclipses: 7
Two lunar eclipses in same month: 0877 May 01 & 0877 May 30
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: 802 - 803
2. Tetrad: 813 - 814
3. Tetrad: 824 - 825
4. Tetrad: 842 - 843
5. Tetrad: 860 - 861
6. Tetrad: 878 - 879
7. Tetrad: 889 - 890
During any given century, old Saros series end while new ones begin. The year and Saros number of these events are as follows:
3 Saros Series' begin (Year/Saros): 830/111 859/112 888/113
3 Saros Series' end (Year/Saros): 808/ 71 826/ 66 891/ 72
The longest and shortest lunar eclipses of the century and other eclipse extrema are listed below.
Longest Total Lunar Eclipse: 0875 Jun 22 Duration = 03h30m52s
Shortest Total Lunar Eclipse: 0896 Oct 25 Duration = 00h18m08s
Longest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 0831 Apr 30 Duration = 06h55m32s
Shortest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 0881 Feb 18 Duration = 00h34m56s
Largest Total Lunar Eclipse: 0810 Jun 20 Umbra Magnitude = 1.8371
Smallest Total Lunar Eclipse: 0896 Oct 25 Umbra Magnitude = 1.0030
Largest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 0872 Feb 28 Umbra Magnitude = 0.9736
Smallest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 0881 Feb 18 Umbra Magnitude = 0.0053
Largest Penumbral Lunar Eclipse: 0816 Aug 11 Pen. Magnitude = 1.0346
Smallest Penumbral Lunar Eclipse: 0859 May 20 Pen. Magnitude = 0.0007
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 79 penumbral eclipses of which 5 ( 6.3%) are total penumbral eclipses:
1. Total Penumbral Eclipse: 0805 Mar 19 Pen. Magnitude = 1.0029
2. Total Penumbral Eclipse: 0816 Aug 11 Pen. Magnitude = 1.0346
3. Total Penumbral Eclipse: 0822 May 09 Pen. Magnitude = 1.0307
4. Total Penumbral Eclipse: 0823 Sep 24 Pen. Magnitude = 1.0128
5. Total Penumbral Eclipse: 0862 Sep 12 Pen. Magnitude = 1.0059
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.

[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.

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..
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:
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.
