Timezone / Date

You have not selected a timezone for eclipse timings, so all times are shown in UT (essentially GMT).

Accuracy

Due to the erratic rotation of the Earth, the time and location of the eclipse cannot be forecast perfectly. This eclipse's time is estimated to be accurate ± 11m36s (with 95% confidence). This equates to an error in longitude of ± 2.90 degrees, or around ± 305 km (190 miles) at the latitude of greatest eclipse.

A total eclipse of the Moon occurred on 22 November, 0288 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 23:21 UT. The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for 25 minutes and 6 seconds. With the Moon just 2% 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 26 minutes in total.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 5 hours and 49 minutes. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 26 minutes. The total eclipse lasted for 25 minutes and 6 seconds. Maximum eclipse was at 23:21:34 UT.
