A total eclipse of the Moon occurred on 28 September, 1010 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 06:58 UT. The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for 32 minutes and 42 seconds. With the Moon just 5% 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 17 minutes in total.
The penumbral eclipse lasted for 5 hours and 25 minutes.
The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 17 minutes.
The total eclipse lasted for 32 minutes and 42 seconds.
