Spain is preparing for a new dawn marked by astronomy. In the night from Thursday to Friday, August 28 A partial lunar eclipse will take place that can be observed from all over the country, although the conditions and time available to view it will vary depending on the area.
The partial phase will begin around 04:34 hours and the moment of maximum occultation will arrive shortly after six in the morning. The west of the peninsula, the Canary Islands and Ceuta will have more margin to follow the phenomenon, while in much of the center and east the Moon will set before this phase concludes.
The eclipse can be seen with the naked eye and without eye protection, although binoculars or a telescope will allow you to better appreciate the advance of the Earth’s shadow. The proximity of dawn will make it especially important to find a place with the clear western horizon and away, as far as possible, from obstacles and light pollution.
