A partial eclipse of the Moon occurred on 21 August, 0339 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 01:48 UT. A tiny bite out of the Moon may have been visible at maximum, though just 10% of the Moon was shadowed in a partial eclipse which lasted for 1 hour and 9 minutes. 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 16 minutes. The partial eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 9 minutes. Maximum eclipse was at 01:48:19 UT.
