This Map Shows Where Thursday Night’s Lunar Eclipse Can Be Seen
Nearly 1 billion people in the Americas can see the full event, and the Moon will be 96% covered at peak, astronomers said.
- Angelenos can view a partial lunar eclipse Thursday night, though it is not a true "blood moon" since only part of the Moon will slip into Earth's shadow.
- Indigenous North American communities traditionally call this month's full moon the Sturgeon Moon, named after fish that were most plentiful in the Great Lakes region; some also call it the Peace Moon.
- Weather forecasters report the National Weather Service is forecasting a "mostly cloudy" night, meaning even prime viewing locations won't guarantee a solid look at the eclipse.
- Residents planning to watch from The Griffith Observatory should expect limited parking and congested traffic due to a show scheduled at the Greek Theatre that evening.
- Nearly 1 billion people in the Americas will see the entire eclipse, while a NASA database shows the next partial lunar eclipse visible from this region occurs Jan. 11, 2028.

Ninety-six percent of the Moon slides into Earth's shadow on Thursday night and it still doesn't count as a total eclipse, because a sliver of the northern edge stays in sunlight and burns white against a copper disc for more than an hour
Astronomy keeps its categories strict. On Thursday night, over the Americas, the full Moon will sink so deep into Earth’s shadow that 96.3 percent of its face goes dark, dimming to the rusty copper of a classic blood moon. And the official record will file the whole event under the same heading as an eclipse that nibbles five percent off one edge: partial. The reason is a strip of Moon perhaps a fingernail’s width at arm’s length. At maximum, th…
