A partial eclipse of the Moon occurred on 15 July, 1478 UT Old Style, with maximum eclipse at 02:28 UT. At maximum eclipse, a small bite out of the Moon should have been visible. The eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 26 minutes, with just 12% of the Moon in shadow at maximum.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 5 hours and 3 minutes. The partial eclipse lasted for 1 hour and 26 minutes. Maximum eclipse was at 02:28:59 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.
