A partial eclipse of the Moon occurred on 5 February, 0188 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 04:34 UT. A tiny bite out of the Moon may have been visible at maximum, though just 1% of the Moon was shadowed in a partial eclipse which lasted for 27 minutes and 54 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 41 minutes. The partial eclipse lasted for 27 minutes and 54 seconds. Maximum eclipse was at 04:34:23 UT.
