Episode Details

Get ready for a cosmic spectacle: a deep partial lunar eclipse this weekend, August 27th into the early morning of the 28th. Nearly 96% of the moon will plunge into Earth’s darkest shadow, turning it a dramatic rusty or coppery hue—no special gear needed! The show peaks after midnight, with Earth’s shadow creeping across the moon starting at 10:33 PM. While not a total eclipse (a sliver stays bright), it’ll still be breathtaking. The red tint? Caused by sunlight filtering through Earth’s atmosphere, scattering blue and letting red glow through—just like sunsets. Just grab a clear view of the southeastern sky and enjoy—clouds are the only thing standing between you and this free, naked-eye wonder.
