Northern Lights Could Light Up Thursday’s Blood Moon Eclipse For 20 States
Forecasters say a 96.2% lunar eclipse could coincide with minor to moderate geomagnetic storms and aurora visible in parts of the northern U.S.
- Overnight Thursday, Aug 27, and Friday, Aug 28, a 96.2% partial lunar eclipse will be visible across North America during the Sturgeon Moon.
- The NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center issued a geomagnetic storm watch in effect Thursday through Saturday, with conditions ranging from "minor" to "moderate."
- Maximum eclipse occurs at 12:12 a.m. EDT on Friday, Aug 28, when the moon takes on a deep "Blood Moon" appearance as 96.2% is masked.
- Skywatchers across Alaska and Canada may witness faint aurora displays, though visibility ultimately depends on solar wind strength and clear skies.
- Forecasters monitor the arrival of a high-speed solar wind stream and Earth-directed CME, creating potential for minor to moderate geomagnetic storm conditions.
