Blood Moon Eclipse This Week | Boise News

Get ready for a cosmic spectacle: a partial lunar eclipse dubbed the “blood moon,” visible across North and South America on Thursday, August 27th, peaking at 9:12 PM Pacific Time. Nearly 96% of the moon will be bathed in Earth’s shadow, turning it a dramatic reddish hue caused by sunlight scattering through our atmosphere — like all sunsets combined. No special gear needed — just find a dark spot with a clear view. And don’t forget, this is also the Sturgeon Moon, named by Native American tribes for its timing with sturgeon fishing season — a celestial reminder of nature’s timeless rhythms.
