Overview
- The eclipse will occur Thursday night into Friday, August 27–28, and NASA says the global maximum comes at 04:13 UTC when roughly 96.3% of the lunar disk is inside the umbra.
- Local observatories and national outlets have published translated schedules for cities across the Americas, Europe and Africa so observers can match NASA's UTC timing to local time zones.
- Planetaria and astronomy groups in Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Galicia and other cities are running free public viewing sessions with telescopes and accessible stations, all subject to weather.
- The eclipsed portion of the Moon can take on a reddish or copper tone because sunlight refracted and filtered through Earth's atmosphere favors red and orange wavelengths; no eye protection is needed to watch.
- This deep partial belongs to Saros series 138, follows the 12 August solar eclipse in the calendar of events, and is noted as the last similar lunar visibility from Argentina until mid‑2029.
