A total eclipse of the Moon occurred on 27 June, 1452 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 15:47 UT. The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 25 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 32% of its diameter inside the Earth's umbral shadow. The visual effect of this depends on the state of the Earth's atmosphere, but the Moon may have been stained a deep red colour. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 47 minutes in total.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 6 hours and 9 minutes. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 47 minutes. The total eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 25 minutes. Maximum eclipse was at 15:47:11 UT.
