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 15th century CE[1], Earth experienced 228 lunar eclipses. The following table shows the number of eclipses of each type over this period.
| Lunar Eclipses: 1401 - 1500 | |||
| Eclipse Type | Symbol | Number | Percent |
| All Eclipses | - | 228 | 100.0% |
| Penumbral | N | 80 | 35.1% |
| Partial | P | 65 | 28.5% |
| Total | T | 83 | 36.4% |
Total eclipses can be further classified as either central or non-central:
The statistical distribution of these classes during the 15th century CE appears in the following table.
| Total Eclipses | ||
| Classification | Number | Percent |
| All | 83 | 100.0% |
| Central | 23 | 27.7% |
| Non-Central | 60 | 72.3% |
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: 77
Number of Years with 3 Eclipses: 18
Number of Years with 4 Eclipses: 5
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: 1428 - 1429
2. Tetrad: 1457 - 1458
3. Tetrad: 1475 - 1476
4. Tetrad: 1493 - 1494
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): 1416/130 1427/131 1492/132
3 Saros Series' end (Year/Saros): 1401/ 84 1430/ 90 1459/ 91
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.
Longest Total Lunar Eclipse: 1443 Jun 12 Duration = 01h46m14s
Shortest Total Lunar Eclipse: 1482 May 03 Duration = 00h11m29s
Longest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 1440 Feb 18 Duration = 03h28m46s
Shortest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 1430 Sep 02 Duration = 00h06m15s
Largest Total Lunar Eclipse: 1414 Jul 03 Umbra Magnitude = 1.8518
Smallest Total Lunar Eclipse: 1482 May 03 Umbra Magnitude = 1.0059
Largest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 1417 May 01 Umbra Magnitude = 0.9973
Smallest Partial Lunar Eclipse: 1430 Sep 02 Umbra Magnitude = 0.0008
Largest Penumbral Lunar Eclipse: 1455 Oct 25 Pen. Magnitude = 1.0475
Smallest Penumbral Lunar Eclipse: 1427 May 10 Pen. Magnitude = 0.0112
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 80 penumbral eclipses of which 3 ( 3.8%) are total penumbral eclipses:
1. Total Penumbral Eclipse: 1413 Jan 17 Pen. Magnitude = 1.0192
2. Total Penumbral Eclipse: 1455 Oct 25 Pen. Magnitude = 1.0475
3. Total Penumbral Eclipse: 1496 Jul 25 Pen. Magnitude = 1.0457
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.

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.
These web pages are part of the Five Millennium Catalog of Lunar Eclipses: -1999 to +3000
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.
