Get ready for a celestial spectacle on August 28! From North America to Europe, here are the places where the Full Moon can be seen

The late-summer sky will offer one of the most exciting astronomical phenomena of the year.

In the early hours of August 28, the Full Moon will be at the center of a deep partial lunar eclipse, attracting the attention of millions of skywatchers.

When Earth passes directly between the Sun and its natural satellite, its shadow stretches into space, creating a spectacular display of light and shadow.

Because the Sun is an extended disk rather than a point source of light, Earth’s shadow narrows as it travels through space, taking on a conical shape.

On August 28, the Full Moon will first pass through the penumbra and then move almost entirely into Earth’s umbra.

Unlike solar eclipses, no filters or protective glasses are required. A lunar eclipse can be safely observed with the naked eye.

Those with binoculars or a small telescope will be able to see even more detail, including the curved edge of Earth’s shadow gradually moving across the Moon’s surface.

During the eclipse, the Moon does not become completely dark. Earth’s atmosphere acts like a giant filter, bending and filtering sunlight.

As blue light is scattered by atmospheric gases, red and orange wavelengths manage to pass through and illuminate the Moon’s surface.

As a result, the Moon takes on a pink, deep red, or rusty hue, creating what is often called a “Blood Moon.”

This time, up to 96% of the lunar disk will be covered, creating a striking contrast between the illuminated and reddish portions.

The eclipse will be visible from various regions around the world, with viewing conditions depending on the location and timing.

In North and South America, the best view will be during the night of August 27–28, when the Moon will be high in the sky.

In Europe, including Italy, the eclipse will be visible before dawn on August 28, as the Moon approaches the horizon and sets in the west.
