A penumbral eclipse of the Moon occurred on 11 September, 0303 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 17:55 UT. At maximum eclipse, 93% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth, which caused a slight shadow gradient across its disc; this subtle effect may have been visible to careful observers. No part of the Moon was in complete shadow. The eclipse lasted 4 hours and 3 minutes overall.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 4 hours and 3 minutes. Maximum eclipse was at 17:55:14 UT.
