Mercury cazimi meets the lunar eclipse on August 28: Why astrologers are watching this rare pairing
The eclipse will show a dark arc across most of the Moon, with 93% of its diameter inside Earth’s umbra, NASA said.
- On the 27th, a partial lunar eclipse will offer viewers a clean dark arc across The Moon, though it is not a "blood moon." The event reaches a 0.930 umbral magnitude and is safe to view directly.
- Earth casts two shadows: the dark umbral cone where the Sun is blocked, and the penumbra where only part of the light is obstructed. At this partial eclipse, The Moon straddles both, creating a brutal visual split.
- Aristotle used lunar eclipses in the fourth century BCE to prove the world is round, observing that Earth's shadow is always curved the same way. Only a sphere casts a round shadow from every angle.
- Viewers across The Americas can watch the event, with the partial phase beginning at 7:34 p.m. in The Pacific zone and 10:34 p.m. in The Eastern zone on the 27th. Central and Mountain zones also have full visibility.
- Unlike a total eclipse, The Moon will not turn red as it stops just short of vanishing into the dark core of Earth's shadow. The next total lunar eclipse for The Americas is 26 June 2029.
