August 2026 Lunar Eclipse: Peak Times and Viewing Tips for the Americas
A partial lunar eclipse will occur on August 27, 2026, with Earth's shadow covering about 93% of the moon's surface, giving it a reddish tint. The event will be best visible from the Americas, with peak times varying by city, such as 12:14 am in New York and 9:14 pm in Los Angeles. The reddish color results from sunlight passing through Earth's atmosphere, which scatters blue light and lets red wavelengths reach the moon.
