August 28 lunar eclipse to shroud 93% of the moon

According to NASA's skywatching guide for August, Earth's shadow will obscure 93% of the moon during the upcoming lunar eclipse on August 28. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth positions itself directly between the sun and the moon. Because Earth's atmosphere deflects sunlight, parts of the moon might take on a copper or dark red hue.
