  "account": "On August 27-28, a partial lunar eclipse will darken 96% of the full Sturgeon Moon, resulting in an almost blood moon eclipse visible to everyone on the night side of Earth. To witness this celestial event, several free livestreams are available online. Time and Date, the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles, and The Virtual Telescope Project each offer unique perspectives on the eclipse. Time and Date's stream begins at 10 p.m. EDT on August 27, featuring real-time views of the Sturgeon Moon from Portugal and Spain, accompanied by expert commentary from astrophysicist Graham Jones and Journalist Anne Buckle. The Griffith Observatory will also provide live views and public onsite viewing as the moon turns deep crimson at the peak of the eclipse. The Virtual Telescope Project will offer live views captured by telescopes in Manciano, Italy, and Chile, with commentary from astrophysicist and astronomer Gianluca Masi. The livestreams are accessible to all, regardless of weather conditions or location, making the eclipse an event everyone can enjoy. For further information, check the provided live blog and articles on the eclipse stages, visibility times, and photography tips.",
