A partial eclipse of the Harvest Supermoon is set to occur on Tuesday, Sept. 17, offering a celestial show visible across much of the world, reported by Live Science.
This year’s Harvest Moon, the second of four consecutive supermoons, will appear bigger and brighter due to its proximity to Earth. The partial eclipse will be visible in North America, South America, Europe, and Africa, with Saturn shining nearby.
The full moon will reach its peak at 7:34 p.m. PDT, but the eclipse begins earlier. A penumbral eclipse, where the moon enters Earth’s faint outer shadow, will start at 5:41 p.m. PDT.
The more dramatic partial eclipse, with 8.4% of the moon slipping into Earth’s umbra, will occur from 10:13 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. PDT, peaking at 7:44 p.m. PDT.
The Harvest Moon, traditionally known for aiding farmers in late summer, will rise close to sunset for several nights.
The eclipse will end as the moon exits Earth’s shadow around 9:47 a.m. PDT. For a detailed schedule, visit timeanddate.com.
