Don’t miss: partial lunar eclipse August 2026; when and where to see it..

Recommendations for enjoying this event

Unlike solar eclipses, lunar eclipses do not require any special protection for viewing. This is because the Moon does not emit its own light; it only reflects sunlight gently. Furthermore, the reflected light does not concentrate harmful radiation or burn the human retina.

So all you have to do is go outside and find a clear, preferably dark, spot to better observe the eclipse. Remember that if you want to take photographs, you need to find a quiet, unobstructed location, free of trees or buildings.
