A total eclipse of the Moon occurred on 23 June, 0103 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 12:22 UT. The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 11 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 26% of its diameter inside the Earth's umbral shadow. The visual effect of this depends on the state of the Earth's atmosphere, but the Moon may have been stained a deep red colour. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 20 minutes in total.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 5 hours and 11 minutes. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 20 minutes. The total eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 11 minutes. Maximum eclipse was at 12:22:13 UT.
