A partial eclipse of the Moon occurred on 1 July, 0196 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 15:25 UT. The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 27 minutes. With 96% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 5 hours and 54 minutes. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 27 minutes. Maximum eclipse was at 15:25:51 UT.
