A penumbral eclipse of the Moon occurred on 2 December, 1320 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 20:33 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 15% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 44 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 44 minutes. Maximum eclipse was at 20:33:03 UT.
