A penumbral eclipse of the Moon occurred on 13 March, 1103 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 16:20 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 18% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 56 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
The penumbral eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 56 minutes.
Maximum eclipse was at 16:20:19 UT.
