A deep partial lunar eclipse takes place overnight on August 27–28, 2026, covering about 96% of the moon in the Earth's shadow. Most viewers in North and South America, except those in Alaska and the northernmost reaches of Canada, will have a chance to see every stage of the lunar eclipse. Peak Times (U.S.): Eastern Time: Peak at 12:12 a.m. (Aug. 28) Central Time: Peak at 11:12 p.m. (Aug. 27) Mountain Time: Peak at 10:12 p.m. (Aug. 27) Pacific Time: Peak at 9:12 p.m. (Aug. 27)
I watched the eclipse for about an hour tonight. It was worth the price of admission (from my backyard lawn chair). Next lunar eclipse will be June 2029.
