Rare Lunar Eclipse to Cover 96% of Moon This Week—How To Watch

A rare deep partial lunar eclipse will occur on August 27 or 28, covering approximately 96% of the moon's surface with Earth's shadow. The event, part of the Saros 138 series, will be visible across much of the United States, with the maximum eclipse occurring at 4:13 a.m. UTC on August 28. Observers will see a dark shadow gradually cover the moon, with the remaining illuminated portion shrinking to a narrow crescent. The moon may take on reddish or copper hues due to sunlight filtered through Earth's atmosphere. The eclipse is notable for its proximity to a total lunar eclipse, making it one of the most dramatic lunar events in recent years.
