Near-Total Lunar Eclipse Delights Sky with an Almost Blood Moon
On Aug. 27 a partial lunar eclipse covered about 96% of the Moon, creating an "almost blood moon" with a red‑copper hue and a silver sliver as Earth’s shadow nearly wrapped the Moon; the peak arrived after midnight ET, and NASA notes the U.S. won’t see a total lunar eclipse until 2029, but photos from observers showcased the dramatic event.
