A partial eclipse of the Moon occurred on 28 September, 1485 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 14:45 UT. The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 25 minutes. With 92% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 6 hours and 1 minute. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 25 minutes. Maximum eclipse was at 14:45:00 UT.
