A penumbral eclipse of the Moon occurred on 30 March, 0220 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 07:53 UT. This subtle penumbral eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 75% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth (none of it was in total shadow), which caused a gentle shadow gradient across its disc at maximum; the eclipse as a whole lasted 3 hours and 37 minutes.
The penumbral eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 37 minutes.
Maximum eclipse was at 07:53:12 UT.
