Sturgeon Moon and Partial Eclipse | Jackson News

Mississippi’s sky gets a double treat on August 27, 2026: the Sturgeon Moon and a partial lunar eclipse. The moon rises at 7:21 PM, but the real spectacle begins at 9:33 PM as Earth’s shadow turns it orange-red, peaking at 11:12 PM. Visible across North America, this celestial event honors Native American sturgeon fishing traditions—and yes, those fish can be massive. Don’t miss it; the next total solar eclipse won’t arrive until August 12, 2045, but a total lunar eclipse comes sooner—June 26, 2029. Mark your calendars now.
