A total eclipse of the Moon occurred on 9 June, 1339 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 06:45 UT. The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for a brief 5 minutes and 30 seconds. With the Moon just barely inside 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 21 minutes in total.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 5 hours and 35 minutes. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 21 minutes. The total eclipse lasted for 5 minutes and 30 seconds. Maximum eclipse was at 06:45:54 UT.
