28 Aug 2026 — The almost-total lunar eclipse

From New York you see the partial phases at maximum (00:12 GMT-4, Moon 38° above the horizon) — the whole eclipse with the Moon up. No eye protection is needed. A deep partial lunar eclipse — about 97% of the Moon slides into Earth's umbra, leaving only a bright sliver: as close to a blood moon as a partial gets. Best from the Americas; the Moon sets mid-eclipse for the UK, Ireland and Western Europe.

Safe to watch with the naked eye

A lunar eclipse needs no eye protection — you are looking at the Moon, not the Sun. Binoculars or a small telescope make the shadow's curved edge and the colours of totality far more vivid. Eye protection is only ever needed for solar eclipses →

Questions people ask

FAQ
Where is the 28 Aug 2026 lunar eclipse visible?
The Moon is up during the eclipse across Brazil · Bolivia · Peru · Paraguay · Colombia · Ecuador · Venezuela — unlike a solar eclipse there is no narrow path: everyone on the night side of Earth sees the same eclipse at the same instant. From New York the Moon is 38° above the horizon at maximum.
What time is the 28 Aug 2026 lunar eclipse in New York?
The partial (umbral) phase begins at 22:33 GMT-4, maximum is at 00:12 GMT-4 and the Moon leaves the umbra at 01:52 GMT-4 (all times New York local). The instants are the same worldwide; only the local clock time differs.
Do I need eclipse glasses for a lunar eclipse?
No. A lunar eclipse is completely safe to watch with the naked eye, binoculars or a telescope — you are looking at the Moon, not the Sun. Eye protection is only for SOLAR eclipses.
How much of the Moon is eclipsed?
At maximum about 97% of the Moon's disc sits inside Earth's dark umbra — the umbral phase lasts 3h 18m.
