A penumbral eclipse of the Moon occurred on 21 September, 0209 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 02:28 UT. In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 4% of the Moon's disc for 57 minutes exactly, which was essentially impossible to see.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 57 minutes exactly. Maximum eclipse was at 02:28:53 UT.
