A blood moon will appear later this month. This phenomenon occurs when Earth passes between the sun and moon, casting a subtle red shadow. The event is a partial lunar eclipse, meaning a portion of the moon will remain exposed to sunlight.

The timing of the eclipse is known, with its peak occurring at a specific hour. Further details about this event can be found through additional sources.

The full moon in August is sometimes given a specific name, which is derived from a type of fish found in certain bodies of water.
