A partial eclipse of the Moon occurred on 5 July, 0020 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 22:15 UT. The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 20 minutes. With 97% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 5 hours and 36 minutes. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 20 minutes. Maximum eclipse was at 22:15:01 UT.
