Lunar Eclipse Rises Over Louisiana

A lunar eclipse was observed over southern Louisiana during the night of August 27 into August 28. The event was visible across much of North and South America, as well as parts of Europe and Africa, as the full Moon passed through Earth's shadow.

At the peak of the eclipse, the Moon's edge took on a dark, coppery tint.

New Orleans is home to NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility, where components for the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft are built for the Artemis missions.
