Between the nights of August 27 and 28, the world will witness a rare astronomical phenomenon combining a partial lunar eclipse that takes on a reddish hue and the possible appearance of the Aurora Borealis in regions of North America and Canada at the same time. The cause of this event is a powerful solar flare of class M and a massive explosion of solar plasma, which have triggered a geomagnetic storm of levels G1 and G2 reaching Earth before the start of the eclipse. This storm could make the Northern Lights visible. During the eclipse, the red light around the moon is bent by the shadow of the blue Earth's shadow, giving the moon a coppery color. Although the eclipse won't be total, it will be the deepest eclipse until the total eclipse in December 2028. It also occasionally allows for the viewing of a red aurora, resulting from particles in the solar wind colliding with the atmosphere near the poles.
