A total eclipse of the Moon occurred on 21 November, 0399 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 02:19 UT. The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for 24 minutes and 24 seconds. With the Moon just 3% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, the Moon may have been quite bright, but even so, this should have been worth seeing. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 11 minutes in total.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 5 hours and 13 minutes. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 11 minutes. The total eclipse lasted for 24 minutes and 24 seconds. Maximum eclipse was at 02:19:30 UT.
