Lunar eclipse 2026: when, where and why the moon will turn red

The article discusses the upcoming lunar eclipse of 2026, detailing when and where it will be visible, particularly from Argentina. It explains that the event will occur during the night of August 27 and into the early morning of August 28, and will be observable across much of America, Europe, and Africa. The article highlights that unlike solar eclipses, which require specific geographic locations for visibility, a lunar eclipse can be seen from anywhere on Earth where the Moon is above the horizon. It notes that approximately 93% of the Moon’s diameter will enter Earth’s umbra, causing it to appear reddish and brownish due to atmospheric effects. The article provides a timeline based on UTC and converts it to Argentine time, making it easier for local observers to plan their viewing.
