The rare celestial event will be visible across multiple continents, with Saturn adding to the spectacle.

  • Observers in North America, South America, Europe, and Africa will have optimal views of the event.
  • The eclipse will reach its peak at 10:44 p.m. EDT on September 17, with 8.7% of the moon in Earth's shadow.
  • This full moon is a supermoon, appearing larger and brighter due to its proximity to Earth.
