A deep partial lunar eclipse will shroud approximately 96 per cent of the moon’s surface from Thursday 27 August into Friday 28 August.
Nearly one billion people across North, Central, and South America will have a complete view, with over three billion people worldwide, including in the UK, mainland Europe, and Africa, able to see at least part of the event.
Earth will align between the sun and moon, casting a reddish-orange shadow across the lunar surface during a partial stage lasting over three hours.
The event forms the second part of a celestial pair, taking place two weeks after a total solar eclipse swept across Greenland, Iceland, and Spain.
This is the fourth eclipse of the year, with the next total lunar eclipse not expected until New Year’s Eve 2028.
