ANOTHER partial eclipse to be visible across Essex this week in rare event
Royal Museums Greenwich says 93% of the Moon will pass through Earth’s umbra, turning it reddish or copper at maximum.
- On Friday, August 28, a deep partial lunar eclipse will be visible across the UK and Ireland, with roughly 93% of the Moon obscured within Earth's darkest shadow at 5:12 am.
- This event follows the solar eclipse from earlier this month, as lunar eclipses typically occur two weeks before or after solar events and happen between two and five times annually.
- Unlike solar eclipses, this event is safe to watch with the naked eye. Royal Museums Greenwich advises finding a high point with a clear view toward the south-west.
- Unsettled conditions, including possible showers and thunderstorms, could obscure the view, according to the Met Office. Observers should check local forecasts before traveling, as cloud cover will vary by region.
- Sometimes called a "blood moon," the Moon may appear reddish or copper-coloured because Earth's atmosphere scatters sunlight, allowing redder light to illuminate the lunar surface.

The partial phase begins at 3.33am BST and peaks at 5.12am, according to the Royal Observatory Greenwich. The eclipse will be visible across the British Isles.
