A total eclipse of the Moon occurred on 28 February, 0190 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 02:53 UT. The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for 33 minutes and 36 seconds. With the Moon just 4% of its diameter into 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 30 minutes in total.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 5 hours and 56 minutes. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 30 minutes. The total eclipse lasted for 33 minutes and 36 seconds. Maximum eclipse was at 02:53:01 UT.
