A partial eclipse of the Moon occurred on 22 July, 1286 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 17:35 UT. The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 7 minutes. With 91% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 5 hours and 13 minutes. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 7 minutes. Maximum eclipse was at 17:35:50 UT.
