Partial Lunar Eclipse Will Turn Most of the Moon Blood Red
- On Thursday, August 27, a partial lunar eclipse begins at 9:23 p.m. ET, visible across the entire United States through Friday as the moon passes into Earth's shadow.
- Lunar eclipses occur only during full moons, but the moon's tilted orbit prevents them monthly; the Sturgeon Moon reaches full phase just before the eclipse begins Thursday.
- About 96 percent of the moon will enter Earth's umbra, creating an 'almost blood moon,' as sunlight filtered through Earth's atmosphere turns the shadowed portion copper-colored.
- The eclipse reaches maximum Friday, August 28 at 12:12 a.m., with East Coast and Midwest viewers seeing the full eclipse while Alaska and West Coast observers see only part.
- As 2026's final eclipse, this marks the best lunar viewing until June 26, 2029, with the next partial lunar eclipse not occurring until January 12, 2028.
