SUMMARY
On August 27-28, a deep partial lunar eclipse will occur, with Earth's shadow obscuring over 96% of the moon's surface. While not a total 'blood moon' event, the eclipse will render the moon a reddish-orange, providing an excellent photographic opportunity. Unlike solar eclipses, lunar eclipses are safe to view and photograph without special equipment, unfolding slowly over several hours. The timing and visibility of the eclipse will vary by location, offering different photographic possibilities for observers in Europe and North America.
