Tonight you can see the harvest moon and a lunar eclipse
Tonight there will be a partial lunar eclipse and a full harvest moon, also known as a supermoon.
The moon will enter the shadow of the Earth at 10:13 p.m. ET and exit it at 11:16 p.m. ET. This will be visible over Europe and much of Asia, Africa, North America and South America.
What is a lunar eclipse?
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves into the Earth's shadow, causing the Moon to be darkened. This is only a partial lunar eclipse so only part of the Moon will be darkened.
What is a supermoon?
A supermoon is a full moon that is closer to Earth than normal and appears larger and brighter in the sky.
