Last night’s near-total lunar eclipse did not disappoint. In the second and final lunar eclipse of the year, our natural satellite transformed into a stunning red-orange “blood moon” as almost all of it fell under Earth’s shadow.

A partial lunar eclipse will be visible across much of the U.S. late Thursday, but not every state will get the same view.

Two weeks after a total solar eclipse wowed skywatchers in Europe, a near-total lunar eclipse is in store Thursday for people in North and South America.

A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes between the sun and the moon, casting a gigantic shadow across the Moon.

The partial lunar eclipse won't peak until after midnight ET tonight, but should you stay up late or get some sleep?

According to NASA, there will be three Penumbral eclipses in 2027, two of which will be visible in the Americas. The next partial eclipse will be in Jan. 2028, and should be visible in the Americas, Europe, and Africa. NASA forecasts lunar eclipses out to December 2030.

At its peak, the moon was 96 percent covered in Earth’s shadow, creating stunning scenes for many of those who came out to watch.
