Watch the Eclipse TONIGHT!

August 27, 2026/in Featured, news, photo, starwatching

photos by Papi’s Pictures

There will be a near-total eclipse of the full moon starting at 10:33pm TONIGHT (Thu, Aug 27) with the maximum 96% coverage at 12:12am early tomorrow morning. To add to the excitement, there is a G2 (Moderate) Aurora Alert which means that Leelanau has a better than usual chance to see the Northern Lights as well!

Scott Short (Big Papi to his grandkids) is a Beulah-based photographer who shares some fantastic shots from northern Benzie County and the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. He captured this Great Horned Owl via extreme zoom the other night after sunset. Follow him on Facebook at Papi’s Pictures.
