A partial eclipse of the Moon occurred on 29 August, 0451 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 00:22 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 1 hour exactly. 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 59 minutes. The partial eclipse lasted for 1 hour exactly. Maximum eclipse was at 00:22:16 UT.
