A penumbral eclipse of the Moon occurred on 11 May, 1757 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 11:16 UT. The Moon approached within 0% of the Earth's umbral shadow at maximum eclipse; 95% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth, with the overall eclipse lasting 4 hours and 1 minute. While less dramatic than a partial eclipse (as no part of the Moon was in complete shadow), a shading across the Moon should have been readily visible to observers.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 4 hours and 1 minute. Maximum eclipse was at 11:16:17 UT.
