On this day, residents of Azerbaijan will be able to observe a lunar eclipse
On August 28, the second lunar eclipse of 2026 will take place — this time the Moon will pass through only part of the Earth's shadow, resulting in a partial lunar eclipse.
1news.az reports this citing the Department of Astrophysics of the Faculty of Physics of Baku State University.
One part of the Moon will be in shadow, while the other will remain illuminated.
The penumbral lunar eclipse will begin on August 28 at 05:23:55, and the partial one at 06:33:48. The maximum phase of the eclipse will occur at 08:12:53. The partial eclipse will end at 09:51:55, and the penumbral one at 11:01:41.
The eclipse will be visible across Europe, Africa, Asia, and America. From the territory of Azerbaijan, it will be possible to observe only part of the penumbral eclipse — from 05:23 to 05:55, that is, until the Moon sets.
