A penumbral eclipse of the Moon occurred on 26 March, 1902 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 13:39 UT. This very subtle penumbral eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 41 minutes, just 36% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 41 minutes. Maximum eclipse was at 13:39:17 UT.
