A near-total lunar eclipse is set to occur, with visibility spanning across North and South America on Thursday night. During the event, the Moon will pass into Earth’s shadow, causing it to take on a reddish or coppery appearance due to the scattering of sunlight by the atmosphere.
Additional reports indicate that a similar celestial event will be visible in South Africa on the morning of August 28, 2026. During this occurrence, the Moon will appear low on the western horizon just before sunrise, with the Earth's shadow covering nearly the entire lunar surface.
