Billion Watch Sky Turnover
On the night of Thursday, August 27, a partial lunar eclipse was observed in the United States, Canada, Central America, and South America, during which 96% of the Moon's surface was within Earth's shadow, making it an extraordinary event. The partial eclipse lasted for more than three hours, reaching its peak after midnight Eastern Time in the United States. This timing allowed one billion people in those regions to see all stages of the eclipse, while approximately 44% of the world's population could observe at least a part of it. It is worth noting that solar and lunar eclipses often occur in pairs due to celestial alignments, and this was the second eclipse of the year. The next occurrence is scheduled for 2028.
