Super Harvest Moon and Partial Lunar Eclipse to Dazzle Skywatchers Tuesday

The rare celestial event will feature the second of four consecutive supermoons and the final lunar eclipse of the year.

The super harvest moon will be at its fullest on September 17 at 10:35 p.m. ET, appearing larger and brighter due to its proximity to Earth.
A partial lunar eclipse will occur simultaneously, with Earth's shadow covering about 8.4% of the moon's surface at its peak at 10:44 p.m. ET.
Viewers in North America, South America, Europe, and Africa will have the best chance to see the eclipse, while other regions may miss out.
The moon will rise around 7 p.m. local time in most of the contiguous U.S., with the eclipse phases spanning from 8:41 p.m. to 12:47 a.m. ET.
This event marks the second supermoon of 2024, with the next two occurring on October 17 and November 15, and the next lunar eclipse on March 14, 2025.
