A total eclipse of the Moon occurred on 10 May, 1263 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 01:53 UT. The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for 29 minutes and 12 seconds. With the Moon just 4% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, the Moon may have been quite bright, but even so, this should have been worth seeing. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 10 minutes in total.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 5 hours and 4 minutes. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 10 minutes. The total eclipse lasted for 29 minutes and 12 seconds. Maximum eclipse was at 01:53:53 UT.
