A partial eclipse of the Moon occurred on 18 April, 0295 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 20:24 UT. The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 25 minutes. With 95% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 5 hours and 52 minutes. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 25 minutes. Maximum eclipse was at 20:24:38 UT.
