POLICY WIRE — London, UK — A partial lunar eclipse will be visible in the UK on August 28, during which the Moon may appear reddish in color.

The phenomenon occurs when the Earth moves between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the lunar surface. The reddish hue is due to the scattering of sunlight through the Earth’s atmosphere.

For optimal viewing, skywatchers are advised to find a location with minimal light pollution. The partial eclipse is expected to begin at approximately 8:36 PM BST and reach its peak at 9:44 PM BST.

This celestial event is a rare occurrence and provides a unique opportunity for both amateur and professional astronomers to observe and document the phenomenon.
