Saint-Martin lunar eclipse and Fréjus police documentary

A nearly total lunar eclipse will be visible from Saint-Martin during the night of Thursday, August 27, to Friday, August 28. The phenomenon is expected to begin at 21:23 and reach its peak around 00:12, with approximately 96% of the Moon's surface covered by Earth's shadow. Observers may see the Moon take on a reddish hue. While no special eyewear is required for naked-eye viewing, binoculars or telescopes are recommended for a better view.

In France, the television channel W9 will broadcast a special episode of ‘Enquête d’action’ titled ‘Un été d’enfer à Fréjus: pas de vacances pour la police!’. The program follows police officers in the coastal town of Fréjus during the busy summer season, documenting various interventions including thefts in tourist areas, tensions on beaches, and monitoring drug activity.
