A total eclipse of the Moon occurred on Thursday 17 November, 1910 UT (4 Nov, 1910 Old Style), with maximum eclipse at 00:20 UT. A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 50 minutes and 36 seconds. The Moon was 12% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 13 minutes in total.
The penumbral eclipse lasted for 5 hours and 8 minutes.
The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 13 minutes.
The total eclipse lasted for 50 minutes and 36 seconds.
Maximum eclipse was at 00:20:40 UT.
During this eclipse the Moon was at perigee, making it extremely large.
At maximum eclipse it was 0.568° in apparent
diameter, which is 7.0% larger than average.

the Sun and Moon, and the Moon data page displays detailed
information on the Moon's key dates.
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.

The primary source of all the information on eclipses presented here at Hermit Eclipse. (NASA Goddard Space flight Center)
are in the TDT timescale.
The Sun and Moon distances are shown in km, and as a
percentage of their minimum - maximum distances; hence 0%
is the closest possible (Earth's perihelion, or the
Moon's closest possible perigee) and 100% is
the farthest (aphelion, the farthest apogee).
