A partial eclipse of the Moon occurred on 14 October, 0230 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 12:08 UT. The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 21 minutes. With 96% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 5 hours and 44 minutes. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 21 minutes. Maximum eclipse was at 12:08:27 UT.
