Partial lunar eclipse August 2026: Where will it be visible from?
Here's where the 96% partial lunar eclipse will be visible from on Earth.
On August 27-28, 2026, Earth will partially block the sun's light from reaching the moon, resulting in a partial lunar eclipse. This celestial event will be visible to approximately 3.3 billion people across North America, South America, Europe, and parts of Africa. The eclipse will be most visible in the Western United States, with maximum eclipse occurring a few hours after sunset.
In contrast, the United Kingdom, Europe, and Africa will experience the eclipse just before sunrise. To view the eclipse without special equipment, simply look up at the night sky from the night side of Earth. While the moon will be out of sight for those on the day side of Earth, Space.com will provide live coverage, tips on photographing the eclipse, and updates closer to the event.
