A celestial event is approaching, with Earth's shadow expected to give the moon a reddish hue. This phenomenon occurs when our planet comes between the moon and sun. The result is a subtle red color, also known as a "blood moon".

The event will take place from August 27 to August 28, and is a partial lunar eclipse. This means a portion of the moon will remain exposed to sunlight, creating a thin crescent shape.

Further details about this event, including the timing of its peak, are available from Space.com and other sources, which also provide information about the full moon's traditional name.
