Partial 'Blood Moon' eclipse August 27-28 visible in US UK.
Technology
Heads up, skywatchers: a "Blood Moon" partial lunar eclipse is happening overnight on August 27-28, 2026.
During this event, Earth's shadow turns the moon a cool reddish-orange.
If you're in the US or UK you'll have a great view, but folks in India will miss out since the moon won't be above the horizon there.
