A partial eclipse of the Moon occurred on 22 April, 0583 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 06:30 UT. The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 10 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 11 minutes. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 10 minutes. Maximum eclipse was at 06:30:29 UT.
