SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, CA. (Pain In The Pass) >> Everybody in Southern California can see an “almost blood moon” on Thursday night as a partial lunar eclipse darkens nearly the entire moon.
The partial lunar eclipse will happen on Thursday August 27, 2026, when Earth’s shadow is expected to cover about half of the lunar surface over SoCal.
Lunar eclipses happen when the moon, Earth and sun align just so. The Earth casts a shadow that can partially or totally blot out the moon (turns the moon red) so-called blood moon.
Advice for Viewing:
If skies are clear, the eclipse will be visible to the unaided eye from anywhere in continental United States. It is safe to view a lunar eclipse without any eye protection. You do not need a telescope to see a lunar eclipse. Just go outside and look up at the moon. “So, the moon will be coming up over the horizon”.
Time of the lunar eclipse:
8:42pm Eclipse begins Thursday night.
9:12pm Partial Eclipse peaks.
9:42pm. Eclipse ends.
The next lunar eclipse will happen on New Year’s Eve 2028-29, according to Space.com.
