John's Island: Lunar Eclipse Tonight

Lunar Eclipse Tonight

A very short post today in hopes you, dear fellow bloggers, will not miss the partial lunar eclipse tonight, August 27, 2026.

In preparations, I was up early this morning and happened to capture the Virgin Brilliant Lady entering Puget Sound as the full moon, the Sturgeon Moon, was in the sky above. To find out when the eclipse may be viewable in your area, do a simple Google search.

Thanks for stopping by John’s Island … see you again soon.

Update - 8:10PM PDT

The eclipse is being streamed on YouTube.

It’s always worthwhile to make the effort to see an eclipse, John, truly one of the great spectacles of nature. Have a wonderful weekend. Best wishes from David not far from the shore of Lake ONTARIO!

That was a beautiful moon last night and I missed the partial eclipse but did see the gorgeous full moon. Our skies were clear and lovely last night-not always the norm here. Have a wonderful weekend, John. Diana

Much as I appreciate seeing the eclipse I would rather see heavy cloud and rain here at the moment
