A total eclipse of the Moon occurred on 23 August, 0190 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 14:19 UT. The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for just 16 minutes and 53 seconds. With the Moon just 1% 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 8 minutes in total.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 5 hours and 3 minutes. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 8 minutes. The total eclipse lasted for 16 minutes and 53 seconds. Maximum eclipse was at 14:19:24 UT.
