About 3.3 billion people will see the partial lunar eclipse on August 27-28, with Earth's shadow covering 96% of the moon. People watching in North America, South America, and parts of Europe and Africa will not need special equipment to see it. For the UK, Europe, and Africa, it will happen shortly before sunrise, appearing low on the western horizon.
