Partial lunar eclipse draws viewers across Hawaii

Aug 28, 2026

Crowds turned out across Oahu for a partial lunar eclipse — a light, feel-good night for skywatchers.

  • Earth's shadow darkened about half the moon, visible around 7 p.m. local time.
  • Families gathered at Lanai Lookout in East Oahu, some bringing their own telescopes.
  • This was the year's second lunar eclipse and the fourth eclipse overall.
  • Professional telescope footage captured the shadow creeping across the surface.

Outlook: The next full lunar blackout is expected on New Year's Eve 2028.
