A total eclipse of the Moon occurred on 1 June, 0660 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 23:44 UT. The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 20 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 36% of its diameter inside the Earth's umbral shadow. The visual effect of this depends on the state of the Earth's atmosphere, but the Moon may have been stained a deep red colour. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 24 minutes in total.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 5 hours and 12 minutes. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 24 minutes. The total eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 20 minutes. Maximum eclipse was at 23:44:36 UT.
