Deep Partial Lunar Eclipse to Light Up Skies on August 27–28
What Happened
A deep partial lunar eclipse will occur on August 27-28, with up to 96% of the Moon entering Earth's dark shadow (umbra). Skywatchers in North and South America, and parts of Europe and Africa will be able to witness the event, with the Moon potentially taking on a reddish or copper hue.
Key Takeaways
This will be one of the deepest partial lunar eclipses in years, but it will not be visible from India because the Moon will be below the horizon during the eclipse. No special equipment is needed to view it where visible.
