August 28 Lunar Eclipse Closes a Rare Eclipse Window Not Due Again for 15 Years

A 96.2% deep partial lunar eclipse on August 27–28, 2026 — visible across the Americas, Europe, and Africa — capped a 2025–2026 window that produced three Blood Moons. As the Moon's orbital nodes drift out of alignment, comparable eclipse depth is not expected for roughly 15 years, governed by the approximately 18-year saros cycle.
