A partial eclipse of the Moon occurred on 12 October, 0265 UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 08:45 UT. While technically a partial eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the Earth's umbral shadow, which may have been very difficult to observe in practice; though a shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should have been visible at maximum eclipse. The partial eclipse lasted for 12 minutes and 48 seconds.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 4 hours and 11 minutes. The partial eclipse lasted for 12 minutes and 48 seconds. Maximum eclipse was at 08:45:09 UT.

Interactive Map

This map shows the visibility of the eclipse at maximum eclipse, when it was visible within the bright area on the map. Note that the map is approximate, and if you were near the edge of the area of visibility, the moon was very close to the horizon and may not have been practically visible.

You can use the zoom controls to zoom in and out, and pan to see areas of interest. The green marker in the centre shows where the Moon will be directly overhead at maximum eclipse.

The interactive map is currently not available.
