A penumbral eclipse of the Moon occurred on 9 November, 1942 BC UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 22:59 UT. In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 12% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 38 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 38 minutes. Maximum eclipse was at 22:59:28 UT.
