Worried you might not be able to see the partial lunar eclipse? Here's a list of YouTube channels offering livestreams

A partial lunar eclipse will be visible across much of North and South America on Thursday night (local time), according to The Guardian. During the event, Earth will move between the Sun and the Moon, casting its shadow over the Moon's surface. Around 96 percent of the Moon will be covered by Earth's shadow at the eclipse's peak. Known as a "blood moon" due to the reddish appearance of Earth's shadow, the eclipse will be visible in parts of Europe and Africa, as well as the Americas.

The eclipse will begin around 9:23 pm EST and reach its peak at 10:33 pm EST. For those unable to see it in person, there are several YouTube channels offering free livestreams of the event. Time and Date, a channel with 129K subscribers, will begin streaming at 10 pm EDT (0200 GMT) on 27 August. The stream will feature real-time views of the Sturgeon Moon as Earth's shadow darkens its surface, with expert commentary from astrophysicist Graham Jones and journalist Anne Buckle.

The Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles will also host a livestream starting at 10:25 pm EDT (0225 GMT), providing live views and on-site viewing as the Moon turns a deep crimson color at the eclipse's peak. With 65.7K subscribers, the observatory's channel will offer live views and insights from a public setting. The Virtual Telescope Project, with 152K subscribers, will start its livestream at 9:30 pm EDT (1:30 GMT) on 27 August.

The stream will showcase live views captured by telescopes in Manciano, Italy, and Chile, accompanied by commentary and insights from astrophysicist and astronomer Gianluca Masi.
