Partial Lunar Eclipse to Occur August 27-28 with Near-Total Coverage
A major partial lunar eclipse will occur on August 27-28, visible across North America, South America, Africa, and Europe. Earth's umbra will cover about 93-96% of the Moon's surface, creating a deep partial eclipse that nearly reaches totality. The event will peak around 12:12 a.m. EDT on August 28, with the Moon potentially appearing reddish due to sunlight filtering through Earth's atmosphere. The eclipse begins when Earth aligns between the Sun and Moon, casting its shadow during the full Moon phase.
