NASA Announces Upcoming Partial Lunar Eclipse: The Finest View Until 2029 on Thursday

Buzzline

A partial lunar eclipse will be observable throughout the majority of the contiguous United States from Thursday evening to early Friday morning. Approximately 96% of the Full Sturgeon Moon will traverse through Earth's deepest shadow, potentially resulting in a copper or reddish hue for the moon. The phenomenon commences at 10:34 p.m. EDT, continuing for 3 hours and 18 minutes, with its zenith occurring around 12:12 a.m. This event is anticipated to be the premier lunar eclipse observable from the contiguous U.S. until June 2029. Optimal viewing conditions are expected in the Midwest and certain regions of the West Coast.
