August 2026 Lunar Eclipse Closes Rare 15-Year Window

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 isn't expected for roughly 15 years, following the approximately 18-year saros cycle that governs eclipse recurrence.
