August 2026 lunar eclipse: Don’t miss a blood moon take over the night sky. Here’s when you can see it

A partial blood moon lunar eclipse will occur on Thursday, August 27, extending into the early morning of Friday, August 28. This event happens as Earth positions itself between the sun and the moon, casting a shadow that creates a red appearance. While Europeans recently experienced a solar eclipse on August 12, this deep partial lunar eclipse will be visible over North America, darkening nearly all of the moon for observers in regions like Northeast Ohio.
