A lunar event occurred recently, featuring the full moon of August, also known as the sturgeon moon. This full moon was accompanied by a partial lunar eclipse. The eclipse happened because the Earth aligned between the Sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the Moon.

The Earth's shadow, or umbra, covered a significant portion of the Moon's visible surface. According to reports, the shadow covered 96% of the Moon's bright and visible area.

Further information about this event is available from the source, which provides more details about the partial lunar eclipse and the full moon of August.
