Partial lunar eclipse to bring an almost \u2018blood moon\u2019 to the Lower 48<\/p>\n

\"Mike<\/a>LANCASTER, Pa. \u2014<\/p>\n

Sky watchers across the Lower 48 states will have an opportunity to see a partial lunar eclipse Thursday night into early Friday morning.<\/p>\n

Although the event will not be a total lunar eclipse, approximately 94% of the moon will pass into Earth\u2019s umbra, the darkest part of its shadow. That should be enough to give much of the lunar surface the reddish hue commonly associated with a \u201cblood moon.\u201d<\/p>\n

The partial eclipse is expected to begin at 10:33 p.m. EDT Thursday. It will reach its maximum at 12:12 a.m. EDT Friday, Aug. 28, before ending at 1:51 a.m.<\/p>\n

Viewing conditions in South-Central Pennsylvania and across the Mid-Atlantic could be mixed. Scattered clouds are forecast and may obstruct the eclipse in some locations. Those hoping to watch should find an area with a clear view of the sky and monitor local weather conditions as the event approaches.<\/p>\n
