Portugal may observe in the early morning of this Friday, August 28, the last partial lunar eclipse of the year. The phenomenon, which occurs when the Moon partially crosses the shadow projected by Earth, will begin at 2:23 AM with the entry into Earth's penumbra, and the most visible partial phase will begin at 4:12 AM.

The article describes the lunar eclipse that occurs today, explaining the scientific phenomenon behind the "Blood Moon" — when Earth positions itself between the Sun and the Full Moon, casting its shadow (umbra) on the satellite while sunlight passes through Earth's atmosphere, dispersing the blue tones and leaving only the warmer frequencies that give the reddish hue. The author invites readers to take advantage of this moment to deeply reflect on their emotions.
