A partial eclipse of the Moon occurred on 21 January, 1443 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 19:20 UT. A tiny bite out of the Moon may have been visible at maximum, though just 3% of the Moon was shadowed in a partial eclipse which lasted for 38 minutes and 6 seconds. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 4 hours and 11 minutes. The partial eclipse lasted for 38 minutes and 6 seconds. Maximum eclipse was at 19:20:40 UT.
