Tonight, don’t miss the partial lunar eclipse! The Eastern U.S., Canada and South America will get the most complete view, with up to 93% of the Moon in shadow. The eclipse will be partially visible from other areas of North America, Europe, and Africa.

Begins at 10:34pm ET on Aug. 27 and peaks at 12:12am ET on Aug. 28.

Took these yesterday!

Blood moon

93% in shadow is such a dramatic sweet spot for moon photos

Looking forward to getting some good pics -- although partially cloudy :/

🌕🌑 Look up tonight! A partial lunar eclipse is putting on a show. With up to 93% of the Moon slipping into Earth’s shadow, skywatchers across the Eastern U.S., Canada and South America get one of the best views. Africa, Europe and parts of North America can catch it too. Don’t let the clouds win. 👀✨

🙏⚽️

Hoping the skies will clear up.

What is the time line for this event please (Eastern Time)

Up to 93% of the Moon slides into Earth’s shadow tonight. The copper tint is sunlight filtered through our atmosphere - every sunrise and sunset bent onto the lunar surface. A few hours of geometry. Then the alignment is gone.

What’s really interesting about this is 93% is almost a total. That leftover sliver is the only part still outside the dark inner shadow. It’s so cool that the Eastern US is not getting a different Moon. Everybody on the night side is looking at the same eclipse. Europe and the West just lose it to moonset before it gets that deep.

looking forward to catching the eclipse tonight — always feels a bit magical watching the moon go dark

the timing with the moon right at the edge of the umbra always makes the color gradient look way more dramatic than a full eclipse

Peak 12:13 a.m. ET. The leftover white sits on Mare Humboldtianum on the northeast limb.

I'll be out in the meadow tonight, away from the lights. Nothing quite like seeing that red glow with your own eyes.

Some of my phone images.
