A partial lunar eclipse will be visible across Colombia on the night of Aug. 27 into the early hours of Aug. 28, 2026. During the event, about 96% of the Moon's disk will lie within Earth's darkest shadow, giving it a reddish or copper tone. The eclipse begins with the Moon entering Earth's lighter penumbral shadow at 8:23 p.m. local time and reaches its deepest stage at around 11:12 p.m., when roughly 96% of the Moon will be inside the umbra.
The partial phase ends shortly after midnight, and the Moon remains in the penumbra until about 2:02 a.m. The reddish color is caused by sunlight passing through Earth's atmosphere, scattering blue light and allowing red and orange wavelengths to reach the Moon. Observers in major Colombian cities like Bogota, Medellin, Cali, Barranquilla, and Cartagena can view the eclipse under clear skies, without requiring specialized equipment.
