Blood Moon Eclipse Watch Party | Charleston News

Don’t miss the rare Blood Moon eclipse on August 27 — a stunning partial lunar eclipse covering 96% of the moon, turning it crimson as Earth’s shadow bathes it in sunset hues. From Indigenous healers singing to ancient Babylonian kings staging decoy rulers, this celestial event has wild history. Science says it’s simple geometry: Earth blocks the sun and moon alignment. South Carolina’s State Museum in Columbia is hosting a live watch party with telescope viewing starting at 8:30 PM, peaking around midnight — your last major lunar eclipse view from here until 2029. Weather’s iffy with rain possible, but clouds might break — even a glimpse is worth it.
