Lunar Eclipse - Late-night of August 27-28, 2026
Astronomy Club of Augusta and the DuPont Planetarium at the Ruth Patrick Science Education Center on the campus of the University of South Carolina Aiken will be hosting a FREE lunar eclipse viewing on August 27-28, 2026. We will begin setting up for the event at about 9:15 p.m. and will stay at least through the maximum eclipse at about midnight on August 28. We will have the observatory open and other options for viewing the night sky. You may watch the eclipse from anywhere that you have a view of the Moon, but we would love for you to join us at the Ruth Patrick Science Education Center.
