You Can See a Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse in August. Here's when, How to See It at Maximum
The full moon will pass through Earth’s shadow, and NASA says nearly 96% of it will be covered at maximum.
- On the night of Thursday, Aug. 27, a lunar eclipse will be visible across North America, continuing into Friday, Aug. 28. The moon will take on a rusty, coppery tint as it passes through Earth's shadow.
- Coinciding with a full moon, this 'blood moon' event occurs as the moon orbits through Earth's shadow. NASA reports the event provides a clear view of the shadow moving across the lunar surface.
- The eclipse reaches about 96% maximum coverage at 12:12 a.m. Eastern Time on Friday, according to the Saint Louis Science Center. The eastern half of the United States will experience the most dramatic viewing.
- Unlike recent solar eclipses in Europe, this event is safe to view with the naked eye. Observers in Hawaii and Alaska may only catch the tail end of the eclipse as the sun sets late.
- Clouds or smoke from wildfires can easily obscure the event, making weather a primary factor for ideal viewing. Regardless of location, observers should monitor conditions closely before the eclipse begins.
