The lunar eclipse of August 28


In the early hours of August 28, 2026, sixteen days after the great solar eclipse, the sky gave an encore: Earth's shadow covered up to 93% of the moon. Not quite a blood moon, but the shadowed part took on those coppery tones you only see during an eclipse.
From the estate it was a gift for early risers: the partial phase began at 4:34 and peaked at 6:12, with the moon already low over the horizon — here in eastern Spain it set while still eclipsed, saying goodbye with the first light of day.
