A penumbral eclipse of the Moon occurred on 5 June, 0994 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 08:41 UT. In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 9% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 26 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 26 minutes. Maximum eclipse was at 08:41:53 UT.
