A lunar eclipse is set to occur on August 28, 2026, with nearly 96% of the Moon's surface expected to be covered by Earth's shadow at its peak, giving the celestial body a deep red hue. The eclipse will be visible across North and South America, while parts of Europe, Africa and West Asia will see a partial eclipse.
The event has also drawn attention in India as it coincides with Raksha Bandhan, prompting interest in the eclipse's timing and visibility.
