This week, stargazers can observe a partial lunar eclipse where nearly 96% of the moon will pass into Earth's shadow, creating a reddish hue. The event, occurring overnight on Thursday and Friday, August 27-28, 2026, is best viewed by observing the slow progression of the shadow across the lunar surface. Additionally, Venus will be prominently visible in the western sky after sunset, increasing in brightness as it approaches Earth. The constellation Capricornus will also be visible low in the southern sky, with the moon positioned nearby during the eclipse. AI
