Just two weeks after the solar eclipse, the sky is getting ready for its next spectacle: a deep partial lunar eclipse on the night of August 27–28.
As Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, it casts a shadow across the lunar surface. Sunlight bending through Earth's atmosphere will give the Moon a coppery reddish tint.
Viewing Schedule (Eastern Time):
- 10:34 PM: The eclipse begins
- 12:13 AM: Maximum eclipse (peak view)
- 1:52 AM: The eclipse ends
