A partial eclipse of the Moon occurred on 28 April, 0304 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 00:01 UT. A tiny bite out of the Moon may have been visible at maximum, though just 6% of the Moon was shadowed in a partial eclipse which lasted for 56 minutes and 42 seconds. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 4 hours and 46 minutes. The partial eclipse lasted for 56 minutes and 42 seconds. Maximum eclipse was at 00:01:11 UT.
