A partial eclipse of the Moon occurred on 20 April, 1755 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 07:20 UT. The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 22 minutes. With 92% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 5 hours and 48 minutes. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 22 minutes. Maximum eclipse was at 07:20:57 UT.
