Near-total lunar eclipse is coming up with the Americas in prime position
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — The moon is set to undergo a near-total lunar eclipse, with the Americas positioned for the best viewing opportunity. During the celestial event, nearly the entire lunar surface will be obscured, totaling 96% of the moon's visible surface. This will occur between Thursday night and Friday, making it an exceptionally deep partial eclipse.
The moon is currently in the public eye, as NASA recently sent the Artemis II astronauts on a record-breaking lunar flyby in April, paving the way for future lunar exploration and settlement.
