The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 18 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 32 minutes. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 18 minutes. Maximum eclipse was at 04:25:59 UT.
