ANOTHER partial eclipse to be visible across Essex this week in rare event
Royal Museums Greenwich says 93% of the Moon will pass through Earth’s umbra, turning it reddish or copper at maximum.
- On Friday, August 28, a deep partial lunar eclipse will be visible across the UK and Ireland, with roughly 93% of the Moon obscured within Earth's darkest shadow at 5:12 am.
- This event follows the solar eclipse from earlier this month, as lunar eclipses typically occur two weeks before or after solar events and happen between two and five times annually.
- Unlike solar eclipses, this event is safe to watch with the naked eye. Royal Museums Greenwich advises finding a high point with a clear view toward the south-west.
- Unsettled conditions, including possible showers and thunderstorms, could obscure the view, according to the Met Office. Observers should check local forecasts before traveling, as cloud cover will vary by region.
- Sometimes called a "blood moon," the Moon may appear reddish or copper-coloured because Earth's atmosphere scatters sunlight, allowing redder light to illuminate the lunar surface.
