Deep partial lunar eclipse creates 'Blood Moon' spectacle

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A nearly total lunar eclipse, where 96% of the moon entered Earth's shadow, occurred on August 28, 2026. This event, visible across the Americas, Europe, and Africa, coincided with the full Sturgeon Moon. The eclipse's striking copper-red glow, often referred to as a "Blood Moon," was influenced by atmospheric conditions on Earth. This celestial event followed a solar eclipse earlier in August and precedes other astronomical events later in the year. AI
