A NASA image published on Sept. 2, 2026, shows a partial lunar eclipse over southern Louisiana, captured on Aug. 28, 2026, according to the agency. The report notes that this corresponds to the evening of Aug. 27 in some time zones.

During a lunar eclipse the Moon passes into Earth's shadow. The report states that at the moment of greatest eclipse, at 12:13 a.m. EDT, 96.3% of the Moon's disk was immersed in Earth's umbra, the central and darkest part of the shadow.

That stage of the eclipse was visible across much of the Americas, except Alaska and northwestern Canada, as well as in western Europe and western Africa, according to the report. The image was taken in southern Louisiana, home to NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility, described in the report as a site for manufacturing and assembling large-scale space structures, including core stages of the Space Launch System rocket.
