Lunar Eclipse
A deep partial lunar eclipse peaked late last night on August 27 into the early hours of August 28, 2026, covering over 96 percent of the Moon in Earth's dark shadow. It was widely visible across North America, South America, western Europe, and western Africa.
Lunar eclipses occur at the full Moon phase. When Earth is positioned precisely between the Moon and Sun, Earth’s shadow falls upon the surface of the Moon, dimming it and sometimes turning the lunar surface a striking red over the course of a few hours. Each lunar eclipse is visible from half of Earth.
