A penumbral eclipse of the Moon occurred on 12 April, 1624 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 00:10 UT. At maximum eclipse, 91% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth, which caused a slight shadow gradient across its disc; this subtle effect may have been visible to careful observers. No part of the Moon was in complete shadow. The eclipse lasted 4 hours and 7 minutes overall.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 4 hours and 7 minutes. Maximum eclipse was at 00:10:34 UT.
