You Can See a Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse in August. Here's when, How to See It at Maximum
Astronomers say 96% of the Moon will slip into Earth’s shadow, creating a copper-red peak that lasts about an hour.
- On Thursday, August 27, 2026, a near-total lunar eclipse will be visible across the United States as the full moon passes through Earth's shadow.

- Reaching peak coverage at 12:12 a.m. Friday, astronomers at Griffith Observatory describe this as "practically total," with 96% of the moon entering the umbra.
- Observers across the Americas do not need telescopes or special glasses, though they should monitor local weather, as clouds or storms could obscure the event.
- Until late 2028, this event remains the best lunar eclipse visible from North America, as this Sturgeon Moon marks the sky's last major free spectacle for a while.
