A partial eclipse of the Moon occurred on 6 September, 1046 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 14:28 UT. The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 12 minutes. With 97% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 5 hours and 19 minutes. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 12 minutes. Maximum eclipse was at 14:28:38 UT.
