Partial Lunar Eclipse on August 27-28, 2026: Visibility and Timings Worldwide
A deep partial lunar eclipse will occur on August 27-28, 2026, with about 96% of the Moon covered by Earth's shadow. It will be visible primarily across North and South America, Europe, and Africa, but not in India, where the event occurs during daytime or when the Moon is below the horizon. The eclipse will last around five and a half hours, with the partial phase lasting over three hours. The Moon may appear reddish due to Earth's atmospheric effects. The eclipse coincides with Raksha Bandhan in India, but traditional eclipse-related observances are generally not applied there due to invisibility.
