Partial Lunar Eclipse on August 27-28 Visible Across Americas and Europe, Not India
A deep partial lunar eclipse will occur on the night of August 27-28, 2026, covering about 96% of the Moon's surface. The event, known as the Sturgeon Moon, will be visible across North and South America, parts of Europe, Africa, and western Asia, but not in India where it will be daytime. The eclipse will last approximately 5 hours and 38 minutes, with the partial phase lasting around 3 hours and 18 minutes. The Moon may appear reddish due to Earth's atmospheric effects, and the eclipse coincides with Raksha Bandhan in India.
