This month, sky gazers around the world will have a thrilling opportunity to catch a glimpse of a rare celestial event - a partial lunar eclipse during September's supermoon, also known as the Harvest Moon. This event is expected to captivate astronomy enthusiasts and the general public alike.
The term 'supermoon' is used to describe a new or full moon that occurs when the Moon is at or near its closest point to Earth in its elliptical orbit. In this case, the full moon will coincide with a partial lunar eclipse, which occurs when the Earth passes between the sun and the Moon, casting a shadow on the lunar surface.
The Weather Channel has reported that the lunar eclipse will take place on the night of September 17, adding an extra layer of excitement to the already-anticipated Harvest Moon. According to NASA, the Harvest Moon is a traditional name for the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox. This year's Harvest Moon is particularly noteworthy due to the alignment of celestial bodies, making it a unique supermoon event.
Space.com has outlined steps for watching the lunar eclipse online for free on September 17. Since the visibility of the partial lunar eclipse is expected to vary across the globe, the online live stream will provide an alternative means for many people to experience this exceptional event.
The Independent reported that the lunar eclipse supermoon is set to alter skies across the world, providing a rare chance for astronomers and keen observers to witness this extraordinary event. While the event's visibility is dependent on one's geographical location, those who are able to observe the eclipse can expect to witness the Moon darkening in the sky.
