A partial eclipse of the Moon occurred on 10 March, 0172 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 10:10 UT. The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 25 minutes. With 95% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 5 hours and 53 minutes. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 25 minutes. Maximum eclipse was at 10:10:06 UT.
