A very deep partial lunar eclipse, with 96.2% of the moon passing into Earth's shadow. To most of us, thats enough to look nearly indistinguishable from a total lunar eclipse to most observers. The moon will dim and take on a reddish-orange cast at peak, though without the full drama of a true blood moon.

The event runs through the late evening of the 27th into the early hours of the 28th, with peak eclipse just after midnight EDT. It’ll be visible across North and South America, Europe, and Africa, so a lot of us will get to join in.

Note that this will be the best lunar eclipse anywhere on Earth until New Year's Eve 2028. (when we’ll party!)

No special equipment needed to protect your eyes during a lunar eclipse. Just go outside and look up!
