How to See the Partial Lunar Eclipse and Blood Moon on August 27

A partial lunar eclipse on August 27 will cover 93% of the Moon’s diameter, producing a reddish “blood moon” as Earth’s atmosphere filters out blue light. The eclipse’s peak will occur between 9:14 pm PT and 1:14 am ET across the Americas, with earlier and later phases visible in Europe. Viewing is safe without eye protection; observers are advised to seek dark, unobstructed skies and can enhance detail with binoculars or a telescope.
