Just 16 days after the historic total solar eclipse of 12 August, the first visible from the Iberian Peninsula in more than a century, Spain will once again be looking to the skies to witness another major astronomical event.
On 28 August there will be a partial lunar eclipse with a magnitude of 0.93, which will be visible across the country. Unlike the solar eclipse, there will be no need for special glasses or any other form of protection to enjoy this event. The National Geographic Institute (IGN) says it can be observed with the naked eye without any risk and that no special instruments will be required.
