Double Eclipse & Perseids This Month | Boston News

Get ready for a cosmic double feature this month — the Perseids meteor shower kicks off Wednesday, and if you’re in North America, don’t miss the partial solar eclipse peaking at 1:55 PM (with certified eye protection mandatory!). Later, on August 27-28, witness a deep partial lunar eclipse covering 96% of the moon — turning it into a stunning “blood moon” as it glows red through Earth’s shadow. The show starts at 10:33 PM, peaks at midnight, and unfolds slowly for dramatic viewing. Weather looks clear for the solar eclipse, but lunar eclipse skies are TBD — though it coincides with the rare Sturgeon Moon. Don’t miss these rare celestial moments — step outside and soak it in.
