UK skies glow red as August's Sturgeon Moon hosts a partial lunar eclipse

Stunning BBC Weather Watchers photos capture a partial lunar eclipse visible in the UK during August’s Sturgeon Moon, with the Moon appearing reddish as sunlight refracted through Earth's atmosphere and only part of the Moon entering the umbra. The event was also seen elsewhere around the world, and the next UK-visible eclipse will be in February 2027. The Sturgeon Moon name comes from abundance of sturgeon in North American rivers during this time.

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.

Next Lunar Eclipse: Subtle Penumbra in 2027 Followed by a 2028 Blood Moon

Space.com notes that after August 2026’s near-100% partial lunar eclipse, Earth's outer shadow will cause a very subtle dimming of the Moon during a February 20, 2027 penumbral eclipse (the Snow Moon). The next major event, a total lunar eclipse, won’t occur until December 31, 2028, visible over Asia, Australia and the Pacific, offering a dramatic Blood Moon finale. Peak shading for the 2027 event is expected around 6:12 p.m. EST.

Double Eclipse, One Season: A 2026 Solar-Lunar Pair

APOD explains that eclipses can occur as a pair during an eclipse season. In 2026, a total solar eclipse on Aug 12 (Peñafiel, Spain) and an almost total lunar eclipse on Aug 27/28 (Sèvres, France) were captured in HDR composites, illustrating the rare solar-lunar pairing. The next season brings an annular solar eclipse on Feb 6, 2027 and a penumbral lunar eclipse on Feb 20/21, with NASA noting the site’s move to science.nasa.gov/apod.

Subtle penumbral eclipse arrives in Feb 2027, with a 2028 Blood Moon finale on deck

After August 2026’s partial lunar eclipse, Earth’s shadow will dim the Moon next on February 20, 2027 in a penumbral eclipse during the Snow Moon, a subtle shading last visibly around 6:12 p.m. EST as the Moon passes through Earth’s outer shadow; the inner umbra will miss the Moon. The next lunar eclipse strong enough to rival August’s won’t occur until New Year’s Eve 2028, when a total lunar eclipse—often called a Blood Moon—will be visible over parts of Asia, Australia and the Pacific.
