At maximum eclipse, 96.2% of the moon will be immersed in Earth&#8217;s dark central shadow.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-seasonal\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-dd99cc06-8bff-11f1-be74-f17337c2f5cb-2\">The eclipse will be visible, at least in some part, from North and South America, Europe, Africa and parts of western Asia, weather permitting. Observers in the Americas are well-positioned for the best views while skywatchers across Europe will need to look toward the western horizon before sunrise as the eclipse reaches its peak.<\/p>\n<p>Read more: <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.space.com\/stargazing\/lunar-eclipses\/a-96-percent-partial-lunar-eclipse-is-just-1-week-away-heres-what-you-need-to-know-aug-27-28\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.space.com\/stargazing\/lunar-eclipses\/a-96-percent-partial-lunar-eclipse-is-just-1-week-away-heres-what-you-need-to-know-aug-27-28\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" data-article-category=\"stargazing\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.space.com\/stargazing\/lunar-eclipses\/a-96-percent-partial-lunar-eclipse-is-just-1-week-away-heres-what-you-need-to-know-aug-27-28\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">A 96% partial lunar eclipse is just 1 week away: Here&#8217;s what you need to know<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/pkTdGWpESciNKAMSD6DjD4.jpg\" alt=\"a woman stands smiling at the camera wearing a yellow hat.
