A total eclipse of the Moon occurred on 25 June, 0549 UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 22:44 UT. The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for just 19 minutes and 54 seconds. With the Moon just 1% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, the Moon may have been quite bright, but even so, this should have been worth seeing. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 32 minutes in total.
The penumbral eclipse lasted for 5 hours exactly. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 32 minutes. The total eclipse lasted for 19 minutes and 54 seconds. Maximum eclipse was at 22:44:06 UT.
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.
