A partial eclipse of the Moon occurred on 9 July, 0308 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 02:52 UT. The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 18 minutes. With 99% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 5 hours and 30 minutes. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 18 minutes. Maximum eclipse was at 02:52:42 UT.
