Get ready for a cosmic spectacle as the moon dims dramatically in a deep partial lunar eclipse Thursday night into Friday—nearly 96% of its surface will vanish into Earth’s shadow. This follows last month’s solar eclipse, proving how eclipses often come in pairs when the sun, moon, and Earth align just right. Despite its tiny size compared to the sun, the moon appears the same size thanks to its close distance, making this celestial dance even more mesmerizing. Visible across the Americas, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East—with nearly a billion people in North and South America getting the full experience—the event will peak just after midnight Eastern Time and last over five hours. Astronauts aboard the ISS will witness it from orbit, adding a thrilling perspective as humanity eyes future missions like Artemis II and a potential moon base. While not a “blood moon” due to imperfect alignment, this is the second lunar eclipse of the year—and the next total one visible from the Americas won’t arrive until 2029.
