Deep partial lunar eclipse paints moon red-orange across three continents
A near-total lunar eclipse on August 27–28, 2026, darkened more than 96 percent of the moon's disk, with the peak at 12:13 a.m. EDT. The reddish hue resulted from Earth's atmosphere scattering shorter wavelengths while allowing red light to pass through. Observers in North America, Europe, and Africa captured images of the event, which lasted from about 9:23 p.m. EDT to 3:02 a.m. EDT.
