A total eclipse of the Moon occurred on 26 April, 0407 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 07:02 UT. The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for 31 minutes and 42 seconds. With the Moon just 4% 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 22 minutes in total.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 5 hours and 34 minutes. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 22 minutes. The total eclipse lasted for 31 minutes and 42 seconds. Maximum eclipse was at 07:02:19 UT.
