August 2026 Lunar Eclipse Ends a Rare Eclipse Streak Not Due Again for 15 Years

On August 27–28, 2026, a near-total lunar eclipse — visible across the Americas, Europe, and Africa — ended a rare 2025–2026 streak of three Blood Moons, where Earth's shadow turns the Moon red. The Moon's orbit is shifting out of the needed alignment, so a similar show isn't expected for about 15 years.
