Date of Blood Moon Partial Lunar Eclipse - Why Moon Will Appear Red and How to See It
Over 90% of the Moon will pass through Earth's darkest shadow, causing it to appear reddish during the partial lunar eclipse.
- On Friday August 28, a partial lunar eclipse will be visible from the British Isles in the early morning hours. The Moon will appear reddish, a phenomenon often referred to as "blood moons," caused by sunlight passing through Earth's atmosphere.
- A solar eclipse comes in a pair with a lunar eclipse, occurring two weeks apart. This event follows the partial solar eclipse the British Isles experienced on Wednesday August 12, when more than 90% of the Sun was covered.
- According to the Royal Museums Greenwich, the penumbral phase begins at 2:33am, with the partial phase starting at 3:33am. Maximum eclipse occurs at 5:12am, with over 90% of the Moon in Earth's darkest shadow.
- To maximize viewing, the Royal Museums Greenwich recommends finding a high vantage point with a clear view to the south-western horizon. The Moon will set in London at around 6:15am, potentially making the final stages difficult to observe.
- As the Moon moves deeper into the penumbra, the darkening will become increasingly prominent for observers. This event offers residents across the British Isles a chance to witness the natural interaction between Earth and the Moon.
