A penumbral eclipse of the Moon occurred on 16 April, 0824 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 14:17 UT. In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 3% of the Moon's disc for 48 minutes and 24 seconds, which was essentially impossible to see.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 48 minutes and 24 seconds. Maximum eclipse was at 14:17:57 UT.
